The
leather is strong and durable and yet it is light in weight and will
age beautifully, becoming softer, darker and more flexible over time.
The inside of the bags is divided into three separate compartments so it is easy to organise and find your things. They have two zippered pockets on the inside. The internal lining is in sturdy green canvas. They have a long adjustable leather shoulder strap. The front flaps are secured with two buckles.
Each of our bags is individually made by experienced craftspeople in India using goat leather. Being handmade, each bag is different and there may be variations in the colour and texture of the leather. They are all beautiful to look at and lovely to hold.The leather used for these bags is not chemically treated so, initially, it has a distinctive earthy smell which fades over the first 4 - 6 weeks of regular use.
Why goat leather?
Largely unknown in Australia, goat hide is an all-purpose leather that combines comfort and softness with durability and strength. Traditionally, it has been used for sturdy work wear, designed to last. It is flexible and water-resistant and does not crack or get hard when wet.
