• Zip top
• Clean front with no outside pockets

Sourced by hand from the tanneries and workshops we have bought from since 1991 — Italy, India, Turkey, Mexico and beyond. Sold at our counter in Wellington, and now here.

100% cowhide softens with use. New pieces sit firm and hold their shape; with wear the grain relaxes and the bag settles into how you carry it.
