Signature Custom Top Handle 25 – Natural & Lizard Trim | BagLadt

The Signature Custom Top Handle 25 “Lizard Touch” is a masterclass in tone-on-tone luxury. It avoids the loudness of high-contrast colors in favor of a subtle, sophisticated interplay of textures. The pairing of smooth, creamy leather with the intricate, prehistoric scales of lizard skin creates a piece that feels organic, rare, and deeply personal.

Design & Craftsmanship

Swift & Mushroom Harmony:
The body is crafted from “Swift” calfskin, known for its ability to absorb dye with a softness that makes colors vibrate. The “Natural/Mushroom” hue is a complex greige (grey-beige) that acts as the perfect neutral canvas. Its smooth surface highlights the bag’s gentle curves (“Retourne” style) or sharp lines (“Sellier” style), depending on the construction.

The Lizard Touch:
What elevates this bag to “Holy Grail” status is the trim. The single rolled handle and the horizontal closure straps are wrapped in genuine Lizard skin (often Varanus Niloticus). The tiny, circular scales of the lizard offer a mesmerizing texture and a slightly darker natural gradient that frames the lighter body leather perfectly.

Bespoke Hardware:
As a “Special Order” style, the hardware is chosen to complement the earthy tones. Polished gold (often Brushed or Permabrass) adds a warm glow that echoes the natural hues of the lizard skin. This bag is a quiet triumph—a piece that doesn’t need to shout to be heard by those who understand true luxury.
