A Closer Look at the Details
Craftsmanship
Leather goods bring together several kinds of skill. This guide introduces the details to look for when comparing the pieces in our collection.
People and Practice
Thoughtful design depends on attention to materials, shape, construction and finish. These are the areas we want to explain clearly as the collection develops.

Four Areas of Craft
Leather Selection
Texture, tone and finish
The appearance of leather helps define a design. Look at the product images for its color and surface texture, and use the description for the details confirmed for that piece.
Stitching
Lines that bring the design together
Stitching outlines panels, handles and edges. Compare the visible stitch lines in the close-up images; construction methods should be confirmed for the individual product.
Pattern and Shape
Proportion and silhouette
The shape of each panel influences the finished silhouette. A tote, a flap bag and a rounded holdall offer different looks and ways to carry your everyday items.
Edges and Finishing
The smaller details
Edges, joins and hardware complete the appearance of a piece. Product images help you inspect those details, and our team can answer questions before you choose.
Understanding the Finished Piece
There is more than one way to construct leather goods. Materials, stitching methods and finishes vary, so specific techniques should be described on the individual product page.
We aim to make those details easier to understand without relying on sweeping claims about every product. Explore the collection or contact us for information about a particular piece.
