After having enjoyed a holiday break, our artisans are back in the studio today working on the Leather Day Satchel. A handsome and utilitarian piece, this bag compliments any personal collection. With a roomy interior that will fit all of a day’s necessities, it is designed to go with you from home to office to gym to overnight—truly, a workhorse of a bag and perfect daily carryall.

The first step to this elegant construction is the cutting, and with almost thirty large pieces to cut, our artisans have to pay close attention to the grain of the leather to ensure consistency throughout the bag. After marking off imperfections on the hide, our artisans proceed to waste as little usable leather as possible, often utilizing the entirety of one hide.

Dies are then placed on the leather like puzzle pieces and “clicked” with a press, leaving perfectly cut pieces that will then move along down the line to assembly and stitching.
