Hand-carved. Each piece comes from a small family of related motifs — yours may differ from the one shown.
Please read before ordering
The carved motif on each model belongs to a small family of hand-cut designs — close in spirit, never identical. The piece you receive is chosen from that family and may differ from the one photographed. This is the nature of work cut by hand, not printed.
Description
A structured top-handle bag with a boxy, flat-bottomed body, made for someone who carries a full day and wants it to look composed. Twin rolled handles sit against contrast panels, and a detachable strap with gold-tone clasps takes over when the hands are needed elsewhere.
The body is semi-sealed vegetable-tanned buffalo leather, carved by hand and burnished so the colour deepens toward the edges. It darkens slowly with use, and the carved faces hold a patina that follows how the bag is carried.

Care
Cared for simply, this piece will only grow more beautiful with time. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth to lift everyday dust, and keep it away from direct sunlight and heat, which draw the natural oils from the leather. Should it meet the rain, blot the moisture — never rub — and let it air-dry, well away from any heat.
Every month or so, work a small amount of neutral leather conditioner into the grain to keep it supple. At rest, store the piece in its dust bag, loosely filled with acid-free tissue to hold its shape; never seal leather in plastic, as it must be allowed to breathe.
With wear, the leather will soften and gain character — deepening gently in tone over time. This is not damage, but patina: the quiet record of a piece well lived with.
