This bag is a special custom design we made for our dear friend Steffany Gretzinger!

Specifically made with Steffany's everyday needs in mind, this tote has a spacious design to hold books, journals and a laptop. Also featuring a special zipper pocket on the inside, it can also securely hold your phone and keys without having to dig around for them. With a large exterior pocket as well, you can store all your smaller items so it’s within convenient reach. We hope you enjoy using this tote as much as we enjoyed creating it with Steffany!

This product is made out of a vegetable tanned leather. As a business, we are taking steps toward more sustainable leathers that are ecologically friendly and produced with minimal chemicals. Vegetable tanning is a method of tanning (the process of turning an animal skin or hide into leather) that uses only organic matter. While this method is slower and tedious, it creates a longer lasting leather that becomes more beautiful with use over time.

The current industry standard tanning process, called “chrome tanning”, uses harsh chemicals to alter the color of hides. In addition to the use of these chemicals, chrome tanning produces toxic waste that is often dumped into local water sources, negatively affecting the environment and the people nearby.
Only 10% leather produced today is vegetable tanned, which makes sourcing this leather more expensive and harder to find. This explains why there may be a slight price difference in comparison to the same product made in chrome tan leather.

Leather Source : 

Tandy Leather: This vegetable tanned leather was sourced from Tandy Leather out of Raleigh, NC.
