Materials& Production
Leather Vacchetta from Italy
Vacchetta is a unique form of vegetable tanned cow leather.
It is tanned manually in a barrel with (an extract of) oak rind and chestnuts according to a centuries old tradition, dyed naturally, and finished with a blend of natural waxes and oils.
This gentle process ensures the leather retains many of its original properties, gains in suppleness with use, darkens when exposed to UV light, and develops a distinct patina.
We source our leather from a tannery founded in the 1970s in Santa Croce sull'Arno, Tuscany. We only use European raw hides, which are a by-product of the food industry.

Handmade in Croatia
The Pouch is manufactured in the North of Croatia in cooperation with a small family business which has specialised in the production of high-end bags and leather goods for decades. The workshop is located near Varazdin, about 3.5 hours drive from Vienna, and currently employs around 15 artisans.
ZIPP YKK from Italy
The well-known zip-veteran YKK, made exclusively in Italy, produces robust zips. Each individual tooth is polished before it is attached to the chain to ensure it runs smoothly.
Cleaning& Care
Our leather is greased in the tannery and perfectly prepared for use. Ordinary use and handling ensures the pouch is automatically oiled by our hands and requires no further care.
MORE BEAUTIFUL EACH DAY
Uncoated leather develops a distinct patina over time. The lighter the initial colour, the stronger the development of patina. Scratches and stains are part of the process and will cease to stand out after very little time as they blend in with the rest. This natural ageing process makes un-laminated leather very robust, durable and easy to handle.
