the best option for tote styles and the base of designs.

Our premium leathers are sourced from top tanneries around the world including, Italy, France, Germany and the United States.
Premium Truffle has a natural waxy finish, soft deep rich color and is water and weather resistant with a subtle texture. Being a naturally tanned leather it will show the natural markings from the animals life. The only way to avoid this 'character' is with a painted leather which typically is not our personal preference.
Its heavier hand makes it perfect for many of our tote designs.
