Falchi's fashion career began with hand sewing leather costumes for Patti Smith, Miles Davis, Tina Turne and Mick Jagger.

"In the 70s of last century, in order to let my luxury department store Henri Bendel see my own design clothes, I personally designed a bag containing several of my clothes.

When they arrive at the store, they like my pants and jackets very much, but they are very fond of their bags. "

In 2002, Falchi said in an interview.

President Geraldine Stutz is a very influential figure in the retail industry. He persuaded Falchi to attack the bag design.

In 1980, WWD magazine evaluated Falchi's buffalo bag as "the most imitation bag in the industry".
