What It's Made With

Leather

We carefully select our Italian leather for its colour and texture.  Our soft hides have a water-based aniline finish, and use fewer chemicals in their tanning process, making them kinder to the environment than many leathers.

With this slightly more transparent finish, some natural markings will be visible, enhancing its natural character.

Slight scratches are best and easily removed with saddle soap.

The ‘Eco’ range

By re-using beautiful antique fabrics, not only are the bags produced, unique, but also more eco-friendly; and every little helps the planet we are on. 

 - Antique Hungarian grain sacks, hand-woven with 100% linen, dating from 1910-20

 - Antique Welsh Blankets made with 100% wool, dating from the 1930’s

 - Antique hand-quilted quilts from India and Pakistan, made from 100% cotton, dating from 1930-60

 - Dutch damask sample pieces (made for African wedding dress) are not antique, but we feel that by using up pieces that were intended just as colour samples, we are making the most of everything we can.

We recommend that all our fabrics are kept clear of sharp jewellery and strong dyes.
