Hand Selection

Every hide is carefully inspected and selected for quality, grain consistency, and character. We work with vegetable-tanned and full-grain leathers that develop unique patina over time.

Traditional Methods

Our crafting process relies on saddle stitching, edge burnishing, and hand-finishing techniques that have been refined over generations. Each stitch is placed with precision.

Durable Construction

Products are built to last, using reinforced stitching and quality hardware. The materials and construction methods ensure longevity and continued use for years to come.

Premium Materials

Vegetable-Tanned Leather

Tanned using natural tannins from tree bark, this leather develops a rich patina and ages beautifully. It's environmentally friendly and produces durable, long-lasting products.

Full-Grain Quality

We use only full-grain leather, which retains the natural surface and grain pattern. This provides superior strength and a unique appearance that improves with use.

Hardware Selection

All metal components are chosen for durability and corrosion resistance. We source quality zippers, buckles, and fasteners that complement the leather's natural character.

Crafting Process

Pattern Design

Each product begins with careful pattern development, ensuring optimal material usage and functional design. Patterns are refined through prototyping and testing.

Cutting & Skiving

Leather is cut using sharp tools and precise measurements. Edges are skived to reduce bulk and create smooth transitions between layers.

Stitching

Saddle stitching creates a strong, visible seam that becomes a design element. Each stitch is hand-placed and tensioned for consistency and durability.

Finishing

Final steps include edge burnishing, surface conditioning, and quality inspection. The result is a finished product ready for years of use.
