At Peter Nitz, every creation is an invitation into a world where craftsmanship, transparency, and timeless elegance are not merely ideals-they are our daily practice.
Step behind the scenes with us in our “Making of” video, where the artistry and dedication of our Romanian atelier come to life. Here, skilled hands meticulously guide each Libby Tote from a vision to completion, ensuring that every curve, every stitch, and every edge lives up to our uncompromising standards.
Launching our ready-to-wear collection with the Libby Tote was a conscious, heartfelt choice. The tote is more than a functional accessory; it’s an symbol of easy sophistication, designed for those who appreciate quiet luxury. Its generous silhouette and minimalist lines make it a versatile companion. Whether you gravitate toward the compact mini or the spacious vertical, each size is thoughtfully crafted to suit your lifestyle.
The Libby Tote is an expression of Peter Nitz's philosophy of blending tradition with innovation. The distinctive handle, with its elegant cut-out, pays homage to the iconic Dream Bag from our bespoke collection. This detail is our signature, and gracefully bridges our bespoke heritage with the ready-to-wear line, a playful wink to those who know and love the artistry behind every Peter Nitz piece.
Each Libby Tote is available in two exquisite leathers: Arosa calf from the legendary Tannery Haas and Geneva calf which comes from the esteemed Carriat tannery, both tanneries are known for their commitment to quality and ethical practices. These leathers are chosen not just for their beauty and resilience, but also for the artisinal way in which each skin is made.
Arosa Calf, a personal favorite of Peter’s and beloved by leather aficionados, strikes a rare balance between strength and suppleness. Over time, it develops a rich patina that reflects its adventures and gains character with every outing.
Geneva Calf, on the other hand, is the epitome of refined practicality. Its full-grain, pebbled texture is irresistibly soft to the touch yet robust enough for daily use, aging gracefully over time.
On a more intimate note, the name ‘Libby’ is a tribute to Peter’s sister, who is a very important figure in his life. This personal connection infuses the Libby Tote with a sense of warmth and authenticity, a reminder that every creation is inspired by the bonds and stories that shape us.
From its inception to its final stitch, the Libby Tote is a celebration of simplicity elevated-a testament to our relentless pursuit of perfection and our belief that true luxury should feel effortless, joyful, and uniquely yours.
