Handmade Vintage
This product is handmade with Moroccan leather, thought to be some of the best quality leather in the world. The leather is tanned by hand in 1000+ year old tanneries using a process passed down from generation to generation. The strong leather smell will disappear with time and use. Should you prefer to speed up the process, you can hang the item outside in indirect sunlight or apply baking soda to your item and put it in a sealed pillowcase, garbage bag or large ziploc bag for 48 hours. Afterwards, simply vacuum or wipe down with a soft cloth and enjoy! You can be sure that the top-quality leather our artisans use will last a lifetime and only get better with age!

Rich Texture, Everyday Strength

Will my bag look exactly like the photo?

What's special about Moroccan leather?
Morocco has a long tradition of leatherwork, with techniques passed down through generations of skilled artisans. The leather used in our bags is selected for its durability, natural character, and ability to soften and develop a rich patina over time — making each piece even more beautiful with use.
Care Instructions
Caring for Your Moroccan Leather & Vintage Textile Bag
Moroccan leather is beautiful, durable, and made to soften with use. A little care will help it age gracefully and develop that rich, lived-in patina leather lovers appreciate.
Wipe gently
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust or light surface dirt. Avoid soaking the leather.
Keep away from excess moisture
Leather does not love water. If it gets damp, blot gently with a clean cloth and let it air dry naturally—away from direct heat or sunlight.
Condition occasionally
If the leather begins to feel dry, use a small amount of leather conditioner on a soft cloth. Always test first in an inconspicuous spot.
Expect natural variation
Marks, tonal shifts, wrinkles, and texture changes are part of natural leather’s character. Over time, your piece will soften, deepen in color, and develop its own patina.
About the leather scent
Because this leather is natural and traditionally crafted, it may have a stronger leather scent when it first arrives. That scent is normal and should soften with time, air, and use.
To speed up the process, place your item in a well-ventilated area or hang it outside in the shade for a few hours, avoiding direct sun, rain, or heat. You can also place the item in a large pillowcase, storage bag, or box with an open container or small cloth pouch of baking soda nearby for 24–48 hours. Keep the baking soda from touching the leather directly. Afterward, simply wipe the leather with a soft cloth and enjoy.
With regular use and simple care, your Moroccan leather piece will soften, deepen, and develop a beautiful patina over time.
The Story Behind the Textile
Many of our Moroccan bags begin with vintage or handwoven textiles — from wool kilims to other traditional fabrics — each bringing its own texture, history, and sense of place.
