Our Materials
The leather used for our bags and accessories is a by-product of the meat industry. It would be a huge shame to let such a durable and long lasting material go to waste.
We choose to use animal leather instead of vegan alternatives, because we believe natural leather is still the most durable solution out there. We want to offer you an item that you can love and cherish forever, if you care for it properly, that is. Our bags will travel with you from one adventure to the next. We are, however, actively on the lookout and experimenting with alternative materials.
SMOOTH LEATHER
Leather that has a smooth surface and a matte finish.
This type of leather is more sensitive to scratches, but has such a beautiful and modern feel.
GRAINED LEATHER
Leather is such a valuable resource, so we can not let it go to waste! We try to re-invent leather scraps from the pattern cutting process into keychains or coasters, to limit our waste as much as possible.
PRINTED LEATHER
Our “exotic” leathers are actually printed leathers. An embossing or laser technique is used to print a specific pattern on the animal hide. We do not use real snake skin or croco leather, don’t you worry.
METALLIC LEATHER
We choose to avoid plastics as much as possible. Our dust bags are, for example, sent to the production facility, where they are used to wrap the bags for safe transportation to Belgium. By using the dust bags as packaging, we’re avoiding a lot of plastic wrapping.
SUEDE LEATHER
We choose to avoid plastics as much as possible. Our dust bags are, for example, sent to the production facility, where they are used to wrap the bags for safe transportation to Belgium. By using the dust bags as packaging, we’re avoiding a lot of plastic wrapping.
