The Parise 09: Designs, Sizes and Variations
The Parise 09 leather bag is one of the iconic designs of the Italian brand. Its distinctive silhouette combines soft, woven leather with a clean, practical shape designed for everyday use.
However, the name “09” does not simply refer to a model number. It indicates the width of the leather strip used in Parise’s distinctive weaving technique. The number is therefore directly connected to the brand’s artisanal identity.
The Design of the Parise 09
The 09 was developed as a spacious leather bag with a structured yet soft silhouette. Depending on the version, the character of the model changes: from the classic fringed design to more understated styles without fringes or featuring rounded tubular leather handles.
What all versions have in common is the quality of the leather – whether woven leather or refined Nubuck leather – as well as the spacious interior and the construction and shape that define the Parise design.

Woven Leather at the Heart of the 09
The distinctive woven leather of the Parise 09 is made from Italian cowhide, which is cut into narrow strips and worked with cotton yarn. The weaving technique is based on historical treadle looms and was developed and refined by Parise for leather over many years.
The result is a surface that is soft, lightweight and resistant at the same time. To learn more about the origins of this distinctive technique, read The Origins of Parise: Italian Leather Craftsmanship from the Veneto Region.
Which Parise 09 Is Right for You?
The differences between the variations lie less in their fundamental shape than in their size, handles and surface details. The Regular offers the classic 09 silhouette, the Small provides a more compact alternative, while the Plain and Tubolar & Plain are particularly suited to a more understated look.
In this way, the Parise 09 leather bag remains true to its original character while offering different options for everyday use, work and special occasions.
