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.

I had been eyeing this tote for a while. Green is my favorite color and this Mediterranean was gorgeous. During Jill’s 8 year anniversary I finally bought this at 25% off. It is stunning in person, smells great, and the leather is so high quality, I actually kissed the tote. And the functionality is great too. Thank you Jill and Jill’s team!
