Our Leather

Beautiful leather rolltop backpack bag - tan
Our vegetable tanned leather is crafted in Japan exclusively for us with an environmentally friendly process. Rich in colour and texture, as it ages it will patina beautifully and grow soft and supple. Each bag will patina differently and so your individual bag will be special and unique to you.
If you are located in Australia, please ask us for some free leather samples.
Leather Tanning Process
  1. Raw hides are sourced and put in mimosa powder bark tanning pits. This step takes one month. Only two tanneries in Japan still produce vegetable tanned leather in this traditional way
  2. The hides are then dyed
  3. The leather is dried
  4. Each hide is finished by applying oils, then sheen and softness is applied through machinery

Leather Care

Although our leather and products are tough and durable, they still need to be taken care of. We recommend lightly cleaning every part of the leather with a soft moist cloth, lightly brushing with a horsehair brush, and applying a leather moisturiser. This should be done every 6 months or more frequently if desired.
