Wrinkle me to bring out my best character
Our premium leathers are sourced from top tanneries around the world including, Italy, France, Germany and the United States.
Premium Saddle 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.
*typically paired with matching strap and details.
This swatch is approx 2"x2" for previewing.
Swatches are final sale and mailed USPS First Class.
