Black Leather Turnlock Shoulder Bag

Simple, classic design, our black leather crossbody bag measures 23 cm across, with a height of 25 cm and a depth at the base of 8 cm, for an ideal every day accessory.

Made in London, our handmade leather shoulder bags are cut from sustainably sourced vegetable tanned Italian leather.

Completed with a 16 x 16 cm flat pocket on the front and secured by a silver finish turn lock closure.
The strap is cut from heavy duty black webbing, adjustable between 82 and 138 cm, and attached with heavy duty silver finish d-rings.

We use vegetable tanned leather as it is more sustainable and lower impact method of tanning, one which beautifully preserves the natural past last and uniqueness of the leather, creating a truly individual piece that takes on character and charm with use.

The vegetable tanned leather is free of any heavy finishes or top coats, so may transfer colour onto light clothing at first, until a natural patina is developed.

We’d recommend a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to give it a gentle clean, and most small scratches can be polished out with a clean, soft cloth. If you feel it’s in need of some extra affection, you might like to use a leather conditioner - look out for one containing beeswax and/or natural oils. Although be mindful of oil transfer.

Try not to let your new leather accessory get wet; if it does, allow it to dry naturally - away from heaters - and it might be worth giving it a little condition after.

There is a risk of colour transfer should it get wet but being vegetable tanned, any transfer should come out with normal laundry detergent.

To us, it’s important that the leather we use aligns with our values. Alongside creating long lasting, timeless products, we ensure we minimise our impact on the planet, by crafting our pieces responsibly.

All of our leather is supplied by tanneries who are audited and certified by the Leather Working Group.

The Leather Working Group is the world’s largest leather sustainability program. LWG has identified environmental best practices in the industry and audits tanneries to assess the environmental performance of leather manufacturing facilities – and certifies those that meet the standards.
