Frequently asked questions

Buying from a new brand can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to leather.

So I have answered the most common questions below. If there's anything else on your mind, please don't hesitate to drop me a line, and I'll get back to you soon.

Where is the leather from?

The Leather is sourced from Conceria Puccini, a family-owned tannery tucked between Pisa and Florence, producing fine vegetable-tanned Leather that is traceable to its source.

The certification from the Consortium guarantees an impeccable product, incorporating circular economy practices that respect the planet and its workers, and provides peace of mind for you.

Where are the rest of the materials from?

The leather day bag is made from three materials: vegetable-tanned leather, dry-waxed cotton liner, and solid brass hardware.

The canvas liner is woven in Dundee, using GOTS-certified organic cotton, which is also fluorocarbon-free, tough and easy to sponge clean when we forget to tighten the lid on the coffee flask.

The buckles are cast in the Midlands by a heritage foundry that has been going for generations, and the last few pieces are machined in the Czech Republic.

Where are the bags made?

Each bag is handmade by me in London.

If its made to order can I still return it?

I make every bag with the intention that it finds its forever home. If you're unsure whether the bag is a good fit for your daily routine, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me, and I'll be happy to help you make an informed decision.

How long are the bag available for?

This release is limited to 20 bags; I have set this limit by the maximum I can handle at once and still give each one the attention it deserves.

Pre-orders remain open until all bags have sold out or until the deadline.

How long until I get my bag?

The pre-order will close, either when it sells out or when the deadline is reached, whichever comes first. Then production will begin.

A delivery estimate is listed on the product page. I'll send you weekly updates from the workshop, so you'll always know exactly where your bag is at any given stage.

For this first release delivery estimate is second week of December 2025

How do I care for the leather?

Vegetable-tanned leather will develop a rich patina (a natural sheen) over time.

You don't need much, just a damp cloth now and then to wipe out the dust and a small amount of natural leather balm once or twice a year.

Avoid soaking, and let it dry slowly in the shade if it ever gets caught in the rain. Most of all, use it, it will look even more beautiful with time.

Each bag will come with detailed instructions.
