Caracalla Bagaglio is a line of Italian leather bags created by Simon Jordan, the director of independent British sportscar showroom Cortese. His luxury accessories are design to complement his favorite automobiles.
Caracalla Bagaglio is named after the Terme di Caracalla racing circuit, the site where Ferrari took its first race victory in 1947. The label’s centerpiece is the Commemorative Motorsport Collection, which pays tribute to other key moments in racing history. There’s the Moss No. 7 bag, which pays homage to Sir Stirling Moss’ victory at Goodwood in 1961. Just like his Ferrari 250 SWB, the handbag is a deep shade of blue bearing the lucky number 7. Another is the Jaguar LM No. 20, a British Racing green bag which remembers Jaguar’s victory at the 1951 Le Mans 24-Hour Race.
Each Commemorative Motorsport bag is handcrafted in Tuscany using the finest leather assembled using traditional methods. Each piece mimics the colors and racing livery of the car it was inspired by. The range is also endorsed by the original drivers, many of whom own the bags themselves.
The Commemorative Motorsport bags, and others in the Caracalla Bagaglio line, are available from the brand’s online store.
