Cross Body Bag (Brown) - Ready to Ship
The ‘Mary’ Cross-Body Bag is constructed from a single piece of Oak-tanned leather produced by J&FJ Bakers in Devon, the UK’s last remaining Oak-Bark Tannery. The interior pocket and side seams are hand sewn to create the strongest bond.
Fixed with solid brass hardware and handset copper rivets.
This leather will develop a unique patina over the months and years.

Process:
The entire piece is built by hand from my workshop. The leather is measured and cut in order to incorporate the natural markings of the hide. The raw edges are bevelled and burnished using beeswax balm to form smooth strong edges that will wear naturally over time. I use the saddle stitch technique where 2 needles are used simultaneously with a single piece of thread. This creates a very strong bond and the stitch is unlikely to ever unravel.
