We handpick our leathers from tanneries in the U.S for their uncompromising processes in achieving the best finish. Full grain leather is the upper most layer of the cow’s hide (not top-grain) and also the most cherished and expensive, unique in that it tells the story of the cow. We believe that natural is beauty and natural is tough, hence we only use this variety of leather.
In particular, our Oxblood and Mahogany leathers have been treated with oils to create a unique pull-up effect, giving the leathers a rich gradient and depth in colour. It’s no surprise they’ve has amassed a cult following.
This supple yet hardy leather is highly prized for the time-honoured tradition that goes behind it and also for the inherently beautiful patina that develops with use over time. We are completing in awe.
Crafted of densely woven natural fibres, our cotton canvas is soft to touch and made to last. Like our premium leather, our canvases naturally pick up marks and their colours fade gradually with use, so its character grows richer with age. Discover them on our Book I: The Hare & the Flying Tortoise bags.
Created to showcase elements of risk and non-conformism, each motif of our Maverick print was hand illustrated individually then tastefully pieced together to form a one of a kind pattern. Its water-resistant coating ensures protection when used both on the exterior and interior. Unravel your Mr. Hyde our Book II: Jekyll’s Hyde Bags
Our nylon is backed with a PVC which not only gives it a robust form but also the ability to quickly spring back to shape when crumpled, a key attribute for the reversible bags in Book II: Jekyll’s Hyde Bags It is also water-resistant and boosts a stunning luster for that finishing touch.

Leather Care:
The premium leathers used in all our goods will develop a sheen over time and that's when it's most beautiful. If nicked or scratched, do not worry as they will subside with use, like how natural skin can recover. Likewise, for minor stains, dap with a damp cloth, then polish with leather cream. If in doubt, please seek professional cleaning services.
Canvas Care:
Cotton canvas will fade naturally with use to reflect a unique vintage patina with varying degrees depending on usage. During use, avoid excessive rubbing with light coloured fabrics as colour transfer may occur. For minor stains, dap with a damp cloth. If in doubt, please seek professional cleaning services.
Nylon Care:
Nylon may develop creases when placed with use or under pressure. These creases can be smoothed by ironing the area using low heat and with a damp cloth cover placed over the iron. Do not iron on directly.
A damp cloth and mild soap should work to remove most dirt and stains simply by wiping. Once the dirt has been lifted, be sure to wipe down the entire bag quickly in order to avoid getting water spots on the fabric. If in doubt, please seek professional cleaning services.
