Tesoro: meaning “treasure.”

Rosso / Red: The colour of passion, confidence, boldness, and undeniable presence.

Inspired by the form of a treasure chest, Tesoro Rosso opens to a defined accordion interior, revealing three considered compartments and a discreet inner slip pocket. Crafted from structured velvety suede and lined with smooth leather.

Engineered to expand gently while retaining its architectural form, it moves with you while maintaining its authority.

A declaration in red. Designed for timeless versatility — clutch, shoulder, or crossbody.

Natural Material Variation

Each Tesoro is crafted from authentic suede, a natural material with inherent character. Depending on the section of the hide from which the bag is crafted, the nap may appear shorter and more refined on one piece, and fuller and more tactile on another.

These distinctions are not imperfections, but a reflection of the hide’s natural structure, ensuring that every Tesoro carries its own unique surface character.

A note from Bolanlé
My love for handbags has always centered on three things: colour, style, and functionality. Sage + Merlot is my expression of that passion, devoted to my two favourite colours: green and red.

FAQs

Sage + Merlot brings together thoughtful design and considered craftsmanship. Conceived in London and crafted by skilled artisans in a specialist atelier, each piece reflects a balance between modern refinement and enduring quality.

Produced in small runs, every bag is carefully assembled with attention to structure, material, and finish. This approach allows the character of the suede, the weight of the solid brass hardware, and the precision of the construction to be preserved.

Working in small batches also means that subtle variations in tone and texture may occur, a natural expression of genuine suede and the individuality of each hide.

The result is a collection that honours both design and craft, pieces created to be carried often and appreciated over time.

Will Sage + Merlot introduce more designs?

Sage + Merlot is built on a philosophy of intentional design rather than fast fashion.

Rather than releasing many styles at once, the brand introduces one carefully considered silhouette at a time, produced in small runs and refined with attention to detail.

This slower approach allows each design to remain timeless rather than seasonal, ensuring that every piece feels considered, lasting, and true to the identity of the brand.

Future silhouettes will continue to be created exclusively in Sage + Merlot’s signature colours, green and red.

How should I care for my suede bag?

Our bags are crafted from authentic suede, a natural material known for its rich texture and depth.

To preserve its beauty:

Avoid water and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Store in the dust bag provided when not in use.
Gently brush with a suede brush to maintain texture.
Avoid contact with oils, cosmetics and abrasive surfaces.
For significant marks, consult a professional leather specialist.

Why does suede vary slightly in texture?

Each Sage + Merlot bag is crafted from authentic suede, a natural material with unique character.

Because suede comes from different sections of the hide, the nap may appear slightly shorter, smoother, or more textured across pieces. These subtle variations are a hallmark of genuine suede and contribute to the individuality of each bag.
