The Craft

A bag is a slow object.
We make them slowly.

Hand-stitching

From a single hide

We begin with a single hide of full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather from a third-generation tannery in Tuscany — a tannery that still uses oak bark and chestnut, the way it's been done for two hundred years.

One craftsman cuts the pieces by hand, marks the stitch line with a pricking iron, and sews every seam by hand using two needles and waxed Irish linen thread. It's slower than machine stitching. It's also stronger, more beautiful, and repairable for life.

Made to be carried.
Made to be repaired.
