PRODUCT INFORMATION

WHERE IS LA MAMA MADE?

Every LA MAMA piece is handcrafted in Florence, Italy.

WHAT MATERIALS ARE THE BAG AND POUCHES MADE FROM?

LA MAMA is built around the tension between style and resilience: pieces with fashion authority, considered function, and the freedom to be used. The launch collection is crafted from croco-embossed vegan leather, selected for its structure, lightweight feel, durability, and ease of care. The interior is finished with a canvas lining. The outer material is composed of 80% polyurethane and 20% polyamide on a textile backing. The interior is a canvas lining (95% Cotton, 5% Polycarbonate).

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BAG AND THE POUCHES?

The LM1 is the main bag — a structured carry-all designed to move with you through the day. The pouches are a separate system designed to bring order inside the bag and the freedom to carry less when you want to. They sit inside the LM1 to organize your belongings, but they are also designed to be carried on their own, between bags, to a meeting, or on an errand. The pouches are sold separately and are available in five sizes to suit different needs.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY BAG?

For most marks, gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, alcohol, oils, bleach, abrasive materials, or submerging the bag in water.

IS THE BAG WATERPROOF?

The material is weather-resistant and designed to handle light rain and everyday spills. It is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

WHICH POUCH FITS A LAPTOP?

The Large Pouch is designed to hold a standard laptop, while the X Large Pouch can fit larger laptops. Please refer to the product page dimensions to confirm compatibility with your device.

WHAT SIZES DO THE POUCHES COME IN?

The pouches are available in five sizes:

Small, medium, large, XL, and XXL*

*XXL is available exclusively through select retail partners. Not sold on lamamabrand.com. Please visit our stores page for further information or email us at wholesale@lamamabrand.com.

Images, descriptions, and dimensions for each pouch are listed on the individual product pages.

CAN THE POUCHES BE CARRIED SEPARATELY?

Yes. The pouches are designed to move between bags and may also be carried on their own. The Tracolla is compatible with the Medium, Large, and XL pouches and is available as a separate add-on. It is not compatible with the Small or XXL pouches. Strap compatibility is listed on each product page.

WHAT IS A TRACOLLA?

Tracolla is the Italian word for shoulder strap.

IS THE TRACOLLA INCLUDED WITH THE LM1?

Yes. Every LM1 bag includes a detachable Tracolla. It can be worn crossbody or lengthened on the shoulder for hands-free ease.

CAN I PURCHASE THE TRACOLLA SEPARATELY?

Yes. The Tracolla strap is available as a separate add-on for use with the Medium, Large, and X Large pouches. It is not compatible with the Small or XX Large pouches. Please note: the Tracolla strap is included with every LM1 bag purchase and does not need to be purchased separately for the bag.

WHAT COLORS ARE AVAILABLE?

The LM1 launches in Black Lacquer Croco, Black Matte Croco, and White Matte Croco.

The pouches launch in Black Lacquer Croco, Black Matte Croco, White Matte Croco, and Green Matte Croco
