The Italian leather bag in Don’t Look Up

The bag is made by a “US brand that began manufacturing in 1933 making saddles and the natural handbags were the entity’s reaction to the crisis in 1929”, explained Bernardo Fico.
The message carried by leather
“It’s very interesting to see – continues Finco -, that the character played by DiCaprio, which is a serious and well-studied professor, chose to use a leather bag. It’s a classic one, a oiled full-grain that is clearly identifiable as a natural product. Within the movie’s context, which is full of symbolism and messages, it’s a great thing that the professor carries the leather bag with him at all times. It’s almost part of his defense: the symbol of a person that is coherent and down to earth”. Don’t look up, look leather.
