An understated compact brown leather crossbody bag, completed with a brass turn lock fastening and buckle adjustable strap.

Unlined and cut from Italian vegetable tanned leather, the simple design and flat profile measures 19 cm x 23.5 cm.

Handmade in London, each are finished with a buckle adjustable leather strap that extends from 121 cm - 131 cm, attached with brass D-rings.

We have selected a vegetable tanned leather, in a rich brown shade; we choose vegetable tanning for it's sustainability and being a lower impact tanning process which preserves the natural surface and texture of the leather, resulting in a unique finish, which will wear beautifully, taking charm and character with use.

Because the leather is free of any heavy finishes or top coats, it 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 the possibility of oil transfer on clothing.

There are sealant sprays available, which do help protect your leather goods and can also help protect colour transfer onto lighter coloured clothing. 
Always check in an inconspicuous place first.

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.
