Craft & Care

Real leather, made by hand. Here's what goes into your bag
— and how to keep it looking good.

Materials

Selected with intention.

We work exclusively with genuine leather, chosen for its durability, character, and ability to age beautifully over time.

Each hide is carefully sourced and selected specifically for your design, we do not produce in bulk or keep large inventories. Every bag is made to order, meaning materials are chosen with purpose rather than produced in excess.

Depending on the structure and silhouette of your design, we work primarily with cowhide and sheepskin.

Leather samples in various colors arranged on a notebook titled 'Bagsbeyond leather samples 2026'.

Cowhide offers strength and stability, ideal for structured pieces, while sheepskin provides a softer, more fluid feel suited for relaxed silhouettes.

Natural leather may show subtle variations in texture and tone. These characteristics are not imperfections, but part of what makes each piece unique.

Craftsmanship

Your bag is crafted in Bali, Indonesia, by skilled makers who've been working with leather for years. Every piece is cut, shaped, stitched and finished by hand, start to finish.
Because it's made one at a time, every detail gets real attention. The result is a bag that feels considered, balanced, and made to last.

Our Care Guide

With the right care, your handcrafted leather bag will maintain its beauty and develop a unique character over time.

Cleaning

Wipe your bag gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products, alcohol, oils, perfumes, and cosmetics, as they may damage the leather.

Storage

When not in use, store your bag in its dust bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, and excessive heat to help preserve its color and shape.

Leather Care

Check your bag regularly. If the leather feels dry or shows signs of wear, apply a suitable leather conditioner or care gel to nourish, soften, and lightly protect the surface.

Hair-on Leather

Brush hair-on leather gently in the natural direction of the hair. Avoid rubbing against the grain, as this may loosen or damage the hair. Light shedding is normal and part of the material’s natural character.
