Inkolives is Importante's own Italian leather accessories label, created in collaboration with skilled artisans in Naples, Italy.

Our makers, including brothers Ciccio and Giovanni, bring decades of leatherworking experience to the collection. From handbags and belts to sandals, shoes and smaller leather accessories, the pieces are handcrafted using traditional techniques and carefully selected materials.

Inkolives was created through a personal connection with the artisans who make our pieces.

Rather than simply selecting products from an existing collection, we work directly with our makers to explore new designs, shapes, colours and practical details.

Our focus is on beautiful Italian leather, individuality and craftsmanship, creating accessories that feel personal and become part of everyday life.

Inkolives works with different types of genuine leather, selected according to the design and intended use of each piece.

Some leathers are soft and supple, while others are more structured or have a distinctive grain and finish.

Natural variations in texture and colour are part of leather's character. Each product description provides more information about the individual piece, and our team is happy to help if you'd like to know more.

With the right care, your Inkolives leather pieces can become even more beautiful with use.

We recommend gently removing surface dust with a soft, dry cloth and keeping leather away from excessive moisture, heat and prolonged direct sunlight.

Some leather types may benefit from a suitable conditioner, but not every finish should be treated in the same way. Always test a product on an inconspicuous area first and seek advice if you're unsure.

Store your pieces in a cool, dry place, ideally with enough room to maintain their natural shape.

Finding the right fit is important, especially when choosing handmade footwear.

Our Inkolives Size Guide, available through the Size Chart on our footwear product pages, includes international size conversions for EU, UK, US and Australian sizes, along with approximate foot measurements in centimetres.

As each pair is handmade, slight variations in sizing may occur, so we recommend checking the guide before ordering.

For belts, please refer to the measurements provided on the product page and consider whether you prefer to wear the belt at your waist or hips.

If you're between sizes or need assistance, our La Casa team is always happy to help.

Depending on the style and availability of materials, we may be able to arrange a special order from our artisans in Naples.

As our leather pieces are handmade, production generally takes approximately 6–8 weeks, although timeframes may vary.

Some designs, colours or leathers may no longer be available, so we recommend contacting our team to discuss the piece you're looking for.

La Casa by Importante offers a curated collection of Inkolives leather bags, belts, sandals, footwear and accessories online, with delivery across Australia and to selected international destinations.

You can also arrange an appointment at our Crows Nest showroom in Sydney to explore selected pieces, experience the different leather textures and receive personal assistance from our team.

As Inkolives is our own label, we have a close connection with the makers and can often help with questions about particular designs, materials and availability.
