leather bags
Smooth leather, matte and uncoated, cut into a five-point star and topstitched around every point. No hardware and no closure — the shape carries the bag. Made to order; free UK delivery, ships worldwide, dispatched within 14 days.
What kind of leather is it?
Smooth leather with a matte, uncoated finish — the grain is visible and the surface is not sealed under a plastic topcoat, so it takes light softly and burnishes where it rubs. Topstitched around the full perimeter and lined in black.
How do you care for an uncoated leather bag?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth, and lift marks with a barely damp one — no soap, no solvent, no alcohol. A neutral conditioner once or twice a year keeps the hide supple. Store it flat or hanging by the strap, out of direct sunlight, so the colour does not fade unevenly.
Will an uncoated leather bag scratch?
It will mark, and that is the trade-off for the matte finish. Uncoated leather takes small scuffs early and then evens out as the surface burnishes — most owners find the bag looks better at six months than at one week. If you want a surface that stays exactly as it arrived, a coated leather is the wrong material to ask for.
