Our leather women's wallets, men's wallets, handbags, leather crossbody bags, leather iPhone wallets and leather clutches are made with oil tanned leather using waxed braided thread and saddle stitched. With proper care, the stitches will last the lifetime of the piece. All of the leather edges are finished with a burnish, dye, or edge paint. Our custom handcrafted jewelry is designed to be one of a kind jewelry pieces and will standout in any room.
Oil tanned leather is buttery, soft ,and durable, the result of a variety of oils being added during the tanning process. Oil tanned leather is water resistant, wrinkle resistant, and very strong (yet soft) to the touch, which makes it the perfect material for the bodies of the majority of our bags and purses and many men’s and women’s accessories.
When choosing a cross body bag made of leather, it is generally best to choose a high-quality leather that is durable, stylish, and easy to maintain. Some good options include full-grain leather and top-grain leather.
Full-grain leather is the highest quality and most expensive type of leather. It is made from the top layer of the hide and has not been sanded, buffed, or corrected in any way, so it retains the natural grain and markings of the hide. Full-grain leather is strong, durable, and develops a patina over time.
Oil tanned leather is easily cared for by wiping with saddle soap (Fiebing’s Saddle Soap) or Ivory Soap. To restore the look of a like new briefcase, apply a very light coating of Mink Oil paste. All of these products can be purchased locally at most brick and mortar establishments that sale shoes. Ivory Soap can be purchased at most grocery stores or drug stores.

Over time, the leather will become shiny and smooth and a little darker, particularly in the spots that are worn next to your body or touched frequently. The patina becomes more beautiful with the passing of time and frequency of use. We use only the highest quality U.S. sourced leather. The oil tanned leather we use comes from a tannery in Springfield, Missouri.
