notes from natasha
The Rough & Tumble August collection is rich with textures & character. Vibrant neutral shades that are easy to wear.

tannery notes
Casual elegance describes this leather from New Zealand's North Island. An aniline leather dressed with wax and oil that is then milled and polished. The tanner's artistry is seen in the burnished, polished surface that complements and contrasts with a velvety texture that showcases a luxurious tracking effect that will become more visually appealing with use and wear. The leather has a cool "drapey" hand that tailors beautifully on a variety of frames.

In house available, no up-charge for custom designs.
