Can you tell me more about the leather used?Updated 2 months ago

The leather used in our leather crossbody bags, tote bags, wallets and some trims of items or bag straps has been sourced from a Leather Working Group audited and gold-rated tannery and sent to our manufacturers after colouring and grading to turn into our products. The LWG is a not-for-profit group that drives best practices and positive social and environmental change for responsible leather production by assessing and certifying leather manufacturers and the auditing process covers energy use, waste, water use and chemicals, as well as traceability.

Our current products use full-grain pebble, smooth (nappa), Saffiano and caviar leather. Our pebble leather (including any patterned or embossed leather) is made from full-grain, top-quality cow hide that has its own unique grain, rather than an artificial stamp. Because of this, each piece is totally unique. The leather has not been split in thickness and has a wonderful strength to it, despite its softer touch. Every piece has been inspected for quality. 

Saffiano and caviar leather is a slightly-harder-finish, cow-hide leather that helps make the surface scratch and water resistant. Please view our product care page for more information on caring for leather.
