Hand-stitched tote in vegetable-tanned calfskin. Unlined, so you watch it age. Single internal pocket. Crafted in Calfskin.

Specifications

  • Vegetable-tanned Italian calfskin
  • Hand-stitched in saddle stitch
  • Unlined interior
  • Single slip pocket
  • Develops a rich patina

We made the first Petite for our founder's wife, who said all the totes she owned were either 'too vast or too precious.' This one is neither. It carries a paperback, a notebook, a slim wallet, a phone, sunglasses, and a small umbrella with room to spare — but it slips under the arm like a clutch. The vegetable tannage means the cognac will deepen for years.

  • — Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
  • — Condition every 3–6 months with a neutral leather balm.
  • — Store on a wide hanger, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • — Avoid prolonged contact with rain; blot — never rub — if wet.
  • — Professional leather cleaning only.

Complimentary worldwide shipping on every order. Express delivery within 3–5 business days, fully tracked and insured.

The Story

A piece chosen
to outlast trends.

We made the first Petite for our founder's wife, who said all the totes she owned were either 'too vast or too precious.' This one is neither.

  • Hand-finished in Sialkot

    Edges, hardware and lining set by one artisan, by name.

  • Full-grain, traceable hides

    From two heritage tanneries we have visited for years.

  • Lifetime promise

    Repaired, reconditioned and restored — for as long as you wear it.

In Detail

The marks of the hand.

The Hide

Full-grain, unaltered.

We work only with the top layer of the hide — the part that carries the natural grain, the small scars, the irregularities that announce a piece is real.

The Stitch

Saddle-stitched, by hand.

Two needles, one thread, drawn through every hole the artisan has pierced. It is slow, and it does not unravel — even if a stitch is cut.
