Most of our bags are built up. This one is stripped back.
We made it from "Mexico" leather, a full-grain nubuck from the French Tannerie Rémy Carriat. The hide keeps its natural grain, with only the surface lightly buffed to raise a fine, velvety nap. Nothing is corrected or covered. No lining, no interfacing, no second skin hiding the construction. What you see is the leather, and what you touch is the leather. It’s an honest bag, and it earns its character with use.
The straps and base are cut from the same hide in a deeper, structural weight, so the parts that carry the load are the parts built to take it. The nap gives the bag a soft, matte surface. Brush it one way and it deepens in colour, brush it the other and it lightens. It reads richer in person than in any photograph.
Inside, you’ll find a single zip pocket. That’s deliberate. It’s there for the things that need protecting or are too small to trust to the open interior: keys, cards, a phone, whatever you’d hate to dig for. The rest is open by design. Drop your essentials in and go.
Unlined nubuck lives differently from lined leather. It softens faster, slouches into your routine, and takes on the marks of where you’ve been. Scuffs and water spots will show, and most can be brushed back or will settle into the surface over time. This isn’t a bag that stays new. It’s a bag that becomes yours.
Dimensions: 40 cm (width) × 16 cm (depth) × 37 cm (height). The distance from the top of the bag to the highest point of the handles is 19 cm.
