Overview
Bags aren’t just accessories – they’re your plus-one, your sidekick, your ultimate style statement. And if your handbag isn’t vibing with your look, what’s the point? Enter Lorenzi, the heritage luxury brand bringing next-level craftsmanship and bold, exotic energy to the iLifa Collective. Now open on Level 4, this is where handbag dreams come stitched, structured and seriously statement-making.
Lorenzi’s story is stitched into every bag. Seven decades ago, Italian artisan Renzo Caon set foot in South Africa, carrying not just a suitcase but generations of leathercraft expertise from Padua, Italy’s art capital. With post-war Europe behind him, he built a dream from the ground up – founding Lorenzi in 1962 in the heart of Johannesburg. His passion? Mastering the art of exotic leather handbags and accessories, using locally sourced materials to create wearable works of art.
Fast forward to today, and Lorenzi is so much more than a handbag brand – it’s an entire luxury ecosystem. From crocodile breeding and ethical farming to expert leather tanning, design and manufacturing, every step of the process is handled in-house. The result is exclusive, hand-crafted leather pieces that meet the desires of a fashion-forward clientele who know the power of a statement piece. These designs feature the finest, ethically sourced crocodile leather, transformed into striking shapes that fuse classic sophistication with modern flair.
Whether you’re into bold colour pops or deep, moody hues, Lorenzi serves up an electric mix of shades, textures and silhouettes that demand attention. For women, think sculptural shoulder bags, effortless swing bags, ultra-chic totes, structured box bags, wrist crossbody styles and classic handheld designs – each an instant conversation starter. For men, expect high-fashion meets high-function with refined accessories and shoes that complete any wardrobe.
At Lorenzi, it’s never just a bag – it’s a legacy, a mood, a bold statement. So, if you’re ready to add some serious luxury to your arm candy game, you know where to find them at Legacy Retail. Your handbag upgrade awaits.
