Oxblood Leather Shopper Bag
£250.00 GBP
Oxblood Leather Shopper Bag
A one-off. This shopper was cut from an end-of-line oxblood hide sourced through A&A Crack & Sons. Once it has gone, we won't be able to make another quite like it.
It's a bag for every day, made to be carried for decades rather than seasons. It's simple in shape, generous in what it holds and finished with solid brass.
The leather
Full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather in a deep, rich oxblood, from A&A Crack & Sons' end-of-line stock. Buying hides that larger makers pass over is part of how we work: nothing good goes to waste.
Veg tan is tanned slowly with natural plant tannins rather than industrial chemicals, so it doesn't peel or crack. It starts firm with a soft sheen. With use it softens, darkens where your hands meet it and develops a patina that is entirely your own.
The details
- Handles fixed with solid brass rivets, finished with sunburst caps
- Closure tab with a solid brass stud fastening, debossed with the Everbound mark
- Hand saddle-stitched in light tan Ritza thread, contrasting against the oxblood
- Unlined, so the leather shows inside and out, with an internal pocket sized for a phone or keys
The construction
Every panel is cut by hand in our Bristol workshop and saddle-stitched with two needles. Each stitch locks on its own, so a single break won't unravel the seam. Edges are bevelled, sanded and burnished by hand. No sewing machines, no shortcuts.
