Ten years ago, the Route 66 handbag drew inspiration from the spirit of American Route 66 and the hippies, which is not only a totem of travel, but also a track of spiritual freedom. The new R66 series continues the brand's classic Route 66. However, it is also a moment of inspiration carefully captured in the brand's search for freedom. Over the past ten years, GROTTO has been walking non-stop, from the past, and the present to the future, and is constantly moving forward in the journey of freedom.

The new R66 Classic Series is specially tanned with high-quality calf leather from the Italian centennial leather factory, with high density and rich oil, retaining the natural and delicate grain texture, and possessing the marvelous property that tiny scratches can slowly heal themselves; the touch is light and comfortable, as delicate as a baby's skin. The zipper extending outward from both ends can be reversed and fastened on the back of the bag. Through the simple and loose design iteration, GROTTO is a metaphor for the desire to wander and the pursuit of freedom on a road that has no beginning and no end.

The customized hardware is both wear-resistant and oxidation-resistant, as well as environmentally friendly and recyclable, making it durable; the removable leather key bag with double buckle ring is both elegant and practical; the removable wide shoulder strap can be freely matched to business trips or casual occasions. The leather label is embellished with the brand's arrowhead logo, and the compartment design is reasonable for storing items; the double flat pockets on the back are ingenious additions that make it flexible and convenient to take and use small items on the go.

R66 Smudge Series also selects specially tanned calf leather from the Italian centennial leather factory, and hand-paints the dyeing process, through the complicated and fine multi-layer smudge technique, making the leather surface seem to be covered with a layer of flowing art texture; not only implies the dream of Impressionist paintings but also skillfully integrated into the modernist style, transmitting the romantic coziness and a sense of both cool and valiant.

GROTTO hopes that the bag is not only an accessory but also a warm companion to be carried around, wrapping every moment of daily life gently with its unique temperature. After ten years of change, GROTTO will open the next ten-year journey together with a new look.
