Patent Saddle Bag

This Italian split-grain cowhide is milled for softness, then finished with a glossy patent surface. The result is leather that feels refined, contemporary, and endlessly chic.

Patent Leather is tanned in the traditional way. However, the final stages involve the addition of a varnish and a degree of buffing to create the polished high-shine finish. The bags/small leather goods should not come into contact with other bags, as the color can rub off slightly. This leather can usually be cleaned with the use of a soft cotton cloth slightly dampened with distilled water (sodium-free seltzer water may be substituted) applied in a circular motion. The leather should then be allowed to dry completely. This collection requires no creams, polishes or leather conditioning products to maintain its beauty.
