CARE
This body is made from vegetable tanned leather, a natural material that will age with time and wear to create a beautiful patina. This is due to the natural process of dying using plant based tannins, rather than harmful chemicals. Lighter and brighter colours will darken slightly as a part of this process. Please note darker colours may transfer onto light colours.
Vegetable tanned leather is full of character and depending on which part of the skin a bag is cut from, each one will be slightly different in texture, and beautifully unique. We recommend keeping your bag looking fresh by occasionally treating it with leather food, to moisturise and protect. Contact us if you would like advice on what to use for a particular leather.
The straps are made using a waxed cotton from Halley Stevenson, who have been making high quality cloth in Dundee since 1864. Inspired by Halley's 1910 patent for waterproofing textiles, this cloths finish is a combination of their driest wax and soft areo tumbling. Making it the perfect lightweight, breathable, weather repellent cloth for our bags. Over time the fabric will offer a soft aged appearance, keeping all the character of natural cotton.
