Shape, Texture and Detail
Our Craft
A useful way to understand leather goods is to look at their materials, construction and finish. Here are six details to consider when exploring a piece.
Leather Selection
Start with the appearance of the surface: its color, texture and finish. Check the product description for confirmed material information rather than inferring a grade from a photograph.
Color and Finish
The finish gives a piece much of its character. Compare the available images, and ask for confirmation if a particular tanning or finishing method matters to you.
Pattern Cutting
Panel shapes determine the proportions of the finished piece. Look at the base, sides and opening to understand the silhouette shown in the product images.
Stitching
Visible stitching brings panels and details together. The pattern and placement can be seen in product images; specific construction methods should be confirmed for each piece.
Edge Finishing
Edges help define the outline of a bag or wallet. Look at how panels, handles and straps meet, and ask for a closer view if you need more detail.
Final Details
Check the opening, handles, straps and hardware before choosing. We want the product information to help you understand what is shown and what still needs clarification.
