Leather + care
Our premium full-grain leather may show natural range markings, grain variation, and subtle color differences. That honest character is part of every piece.
Condition smooth leather periodically with a high-quality leather conditioner. Cowhide requires no treatment and should be carried with the hair side facing away from the body to minimize friction.

- SHSarah H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoWonderful black leather bag!
This is a wonderful little bag - I can easily fit my wallet inside, I use the outer pocket for putting my mail in when I gather it from the mailbox. In addition to my wallet, I can also fit a large plastic water bottle or an energy drink. Still doesn't make it feel 'full'. I love that it comes with a strap along with the handles.
- CWCatherine W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoThe perfect little black bag!
The black shorty tote is the best everyday bag. It is a great size, not too small and not too big. I love that the strap is adjustable and removable! I can't say enough about the quality of the leather, it is wearing perfectly.
