I received my Outrider bag a few weeks ago and it is really nice! The color is as shown and the leather is soft. Fits on the shoulder well and the wide strap keeps it there. I knew it would be nice but it exceeded my expectations. . Hardware top notch. I am a bit of a handbag snob and my go to has been Brighton for years ….this new bag is just as beautiful. So happy I purchased it.

Know your leather
Not All Leather is Created Equal
“Genuine leather” is not a grade of quality. The term can include leather that has been heavily processed, coated, or even reconstructed from leather fibers and other materials.
At JH Fine Leather Goods, we use full-grain leather — the most natural and intact part of the hide, with its original grain, texture, and character preserved.
Because the surface hasn’t been manufactured to hide its natural beauty, full-grain leather ages differently. Over time, it softens, develops a rich patina, and becomes uniquely yours.
Beautiful bags begin with beautiful leather — and quality that gets better with age.

The material matters
Tuscany to Iowa. Nothing ordinary between.
Jill works directly with artisanal tanneries in Italy and the US to develop leathers selected for character, color, and the way they soften over years of use.
Full-grain leather preserves the hide’s natural markings and honest character.Full-grain, always
The strongest, most natural layer of the hide. Never plastic-coated into sameness.
Exclusive to JH
Many colors and finishes are developed for our collection and found nowhere else in the US.
Chosen with care
Ethically sourced hides from partners committed to responsible people and environmental practices.
Made to become yours
Beautiful on day one. Even better years later.
