Leathers

The leathers used in our bags, briefcases and accessories are carefully selected natural leathers only. We choose leathers individually to make sure they meet the highest standards regarding to their durability and easthetics. Exterior leathers require particular qualities to be accepted for our products. Interiors and linings are preferably made from goat suede or calf leathers, giving the products a very pleasant and luxurios touch inside. Raw silk and fine quality canvas can be used for in the interior, but especially for pocket lining. This also effectively decreases the weight of the product.
Write to us if you have questions about leathers and materials for your bespoke order.
We buy our leathers from some of the most renowned tanneries, coming from all over the world. Exotic hides comes with certificates that guarrantees their legal source. The certificates are made in accordance with the Concention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and the Washington Convention from 1973, whose goal is to protect endangered animals and plants living in the wild.

The most valuable part of the alligator or crocodile is the belly, which due to its softness is considered more luxurious than the dorsal part. The leathers used for bags and briefcases can exceed 60 cm in width and two meters in length.
