What leather do you use?
Most pieces are made of 2–3 oz Italian Venetian cowhide, an aniline-dyed leather tanned with waxes that gives a two-toned pull-up effect and ages naturally. Wallets and passport cases use veg-tanned leather, our valet trays are genuine American full-grain leather, and the Lynette tote is full-grain steerhide.
Are the alligator, crocodile and ostrich pieces real exotic skins?
No. Our “gator,” “croc” and “ostrich” pieces are cowhide that is embossed (pressed) or printed with that animal’s pattern. They are not genuine alligator, crocodile or ostrich skin. If you would like an exotic leather, ask about it in a bespoke commission. About our leathers

Yes, many of them. Our weekenders, duffles, travel sets, briefcases, backpacks, shoulder bags, crossbody bags and the Crown & Carry pieces are all designed to be unisex. Travel & business bags
