Avebury Tote Bag in Bordeaux Textured Leather

This bag is a result of a desire to make a minimalistic luxury everyday tote, a contrast to our iconic structural top handles. The Mcewan Tote has a paired down minimal look with only the necessary seams left in place. It is fabricated in an exquisite supple leather to show off the natural beauty of each skin. The interior is practical with multiple pockets and a magnetic strap closure. Each lined in a soft nappa leather.

  • 100% Calf leather (EU)
  • Made in Italy

Fabric

Genuine nappa is a chrome-tanned leather known for its distinctly smooth and supple softness. It is named after its origins in Napa Valley, California, where its tanning process was first developed in 1875. Like other full-grain leathers, its natural texture and marks show on the surface; for this reason, only better quality hides are used.

Mill

This tannery based in the UK offers C02 neutral, chrome-free skins (such as Original) without sacrificing quality. They also practice regenerative farming, a method of rotating specific crops and cattle to build up soil levels, fix carbon, restore biodiversity and reduce the amount of artificial chemicals / fertilizers required in farming. Zoelitic - or biodegradeable tannages are also being tested for further improving sustainability techniques.
