This bag uses Italian veg tan leather, full grain and 3mm thick on base and straps.
Our bonded canvas is our printed lining and the outer cotton drill, laminated together with a layer of rubber sandwiched between. This is done in Oldham, England. This method was developed in the 19th Century by Charles Mackintosh, who used this fabric method to make the ubiquitous 'Mack' raincoat. The fabric has a certain stiffness and memory which makes it ideal for bag making.
