Hands stitching brown leather on a cutting mat

How a tote gets made

About nine hours of hand work over three days.

Cut

Panels are cut by hand from a single hide, so the grain matches across the bag.

Stitch

Saddle-stitched with two needles and waxed linen. If one stitch breaks, the rest still hold.

Finish

Edges are sanded, dyed and burnished three times before the brass hardware is set.

Materials and care

Vegetable-tanned leather

Hides are tanned with plant tannins and darken with use. Wipe with a dry cloth and keep away from prolonged rain and direct heat.

Waxed linen thread

Two needles carry waxed linen through each stitch hole. Avoid soaking and let damp pieces dry at room temperature.

Brass hardware

Solid brass develops a darker patina with handling. Wipe with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.
