Brown Leather Turnlock Shoulder Bag

Color
 
£158.00
 

This understated elegant brown leather crossbody bag is been made in London by a member of our small team.

Measuring 23 cm wide by 25 cm, with a depth of 8 cm. The front flap covers a flat 16 x 16 cm pocket, fastened with a sleek chrome finish turnlock to allow for secure and quick access.

Each of these small batch handmade leather bags are completed with solid brass slides and D-rings and a robust yet soft brown webbing strap adjustable between 82 cm and 138 cm. 

For this simple and versatile brown leather messenger bag, we have chosen a supple vegetable tanned leather from Italy; a more natural tanning process which results in a truly unique finish, one which really showcases and preserves the organic grain and texture, producing a characterful leather which will wear beautifully with age and use. The 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.

An excellent everyday companion, this design is also available in Black and Tan.

We also create a smaller Flat Turnlock style using the same natural rustic leather in Black, Brown and Tan

 



 

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.
