Missouri Cobalt Blue Leather Purse

 
£64.00
 

Handmade by us in our London workshop, these purses combine an elegant and simple internal wallet with four card pockets and a larger bill pocket with our tried and tested zip purse on the back for general storage. It measures 8.5 cm x 12 cm when closed.

In this new product we have aimed to combine the style of a purse with the simple functionality of a wallet, all while using the same hearty vegetable tanned leather as our classic range of belts.
Resulting from the natural tanning process, the organic grain, texture, and past life of the material is preserved. Over time the leather matures and beautifully takes on character with age and wear.

We have created a small run of accessories using some of our favourite designs, crafted from the same Italian vegetable tanned leather which we use for our belts; currently in addition to this purse we have available the wallet, card holder, sunglasses case, glasses pouch, and small satchel style shoulder bag.

We do our best to ensure the colours look as true as possible, however please remember that monitor colour settings can vary.
The leather we choose is vegetable tanned, which means it is produced in the most natural way possible. This beautifully preserves the organic past life of the material, highlighting the natural grain and texture, as well as the occasional growth marks or surface imperfections. Every hide has a totally unique grain - for this reason there is almost always some unique variance in the surface finish.

 

Handmade by us in our London workshop, the cobalt blue leather purse brings a dash of colour to an everyday essential.

Compact design, the purse measures 8.5 cm x 12 cm when closed, and features four card pockets and a longer note pocket. Fastened with a silver finish press stud, and completed by a separate zipped coin purse on the back.

Sustainability and minimising waste is important to us, so here we're able to use the same full grain leather that we use for our classic belts, split down to a thinner thickness perfect to work with for small accessories.

Cut from Italian vegetable tanned leather, each blue wallet is subtly blind embossed with our logo.

In addition to being durable and long lasting, vegetable tanned leather has a more natural finish, with plenty of grain and texture - over time the leather matures and beautifully takes on further character with age and wear.

Colour note: leather is a natural material and some variation between hides is to be expected. Please bear in mind that monitor settings may also create variance.

The leather we choose is vegetable tanned, which means it is produced in the most natural way possible. This highlights the natural grain and texture, as well as growth marks and scars, beautifully preserving the organic story of the material.

We’d recommend a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to give it a gentle clean, and most small scratches can be polished out with a clean, soft cloth. If you feel it’s in need of some extra affection, you might like to use a leather conditioner - look out for one containing beeswax and/or natural oils. Although be mindful of oil transfer if it's being carried in pockets/bags.

Try not to let your new leather accessory get wet; if it does, allow it to dry naturally - away from heaters - and it might be worth giving it a little condition after.

There is a risk of colour transfer should it get wet, but being vegetable tanned, any transfer should come out with normal laundry detergent.

To us, it’s important that the leather we use aligns with our values. Alongside creating long lasting, timeless products, we ensure we minimise our impact on the planet, by crafting our pieces responsibly.

All of our leather is supplied by tanneries who are audited and certified by the Leather Working Group.

The Leather Working Group is the world’s largest leather sustainability program. LWG has identified environmental best practices in the industry and audits tanneries to assess the environmental performance of leather manufacturing facilities – and certifies those that meet the standards.

Everything here is handmade in London by a member of our small team, which means that orders can take up to 5 working days to complete - especially one off custom orders and those with personalisation.

Wonderful purse

I bought this lovely leather purse for my wife’s birthday. She was delighted with the colour, the stitching and the overall design and craftsmanship. Wonderful.
