Long English Purse

Capri is a fine goat skin, selected for its lightweight strength, subtle texture and butter-soft handle.

Because we like to enhance the natural character and depth of colour, we don’t ‘cover up’ the surface with disguising finishes.
Small marks and softer areas may be present on the largest bags where a whole goat skin is needed for each panel.
After a little time, these will blend in to the general patina of the bag as it develops its own character.

Smalt Blue Inspired by a pigment used by the Georgians, Smalt Blue is a deep, dark yet vibrant blue.

It may seem extravagant, but a leather lining offers the ultimate resistance to abrasion from coins.

No corners cut, the leather lining in our coin pockets is the same as the outer, blending seamlessly and adding a touch of luxury that maybe only you will appreciate.

A little extravagance, this detail requires clever pattern making and generous leather cutting.

One of the many touches that quietly sets our products apart.

In our signature rhubarb colour and subtly branded, our boxes are handmade with a ‘linen’ textured finish. Each item is carefully wrapped in tissue before boxing and is tied with our linen ribbon.
