This leather product was ethically handcrafted by the incredibly talented artisans at Handicraft Villa in India.
As members of Sedex, one of the world’s leading ethical trade service providers, they aim to improve working conditions in global supply chains.
We are fortunate enough to be able to visit twice a year to ensure they continue to conform to Fair Trade principles.
Our leather bags are handmade from genuine goat leather from the desert state of Rajasthan in India.
Using real leather means that you may find creases, small marks or blemishes on the bags and some small differences in colour from the bag shown, this is the natural character of leather and we really like the unique quality it gives to each bag.
Don't worry, we wouldn't send you a bag that we wouldn't love to own ourselves.
There may be a slight smell when you receive the bag, this is totally normal for this type of leather and will go with time.
The leather is protected with natural oils to give it a lovely rich finish and make it hard-wearing. Our leather bags are intended to get even better with age, the leather will soften and the bumps and knocks they will get add more character - we love a bag that can tell a story of its travels!
To prevent the leather from darkening and keep it supple, try rubbing in some petroleum jelly with a dry cloth. To maintain the rich natural texture, avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
