(2) Our Luggage’s range :

Leather is a beautiful and vibrant natural product with all that this implies. Its charm is enhanced by the occasional natural blemish and subtle difference in texture and shade. Leather will always bear the marks of its natural origin. The play of color in leather and its natural markings (marks left by scars and insect bites) are normal features of the leather and make each piece of product unique. Leather ages with style, acquiring a signature patina that adds depth and character.

Our “Kashgar leather” is a tribute to the Silk Road, crossroad between the East and the West. It is the finest natural top grain of Tibetan Yaks, specially tanned with natural plant extracts to create a soft, smooth, comfortable, strong and light product. It is organically dyed with natural pigments that respect the environment. It therefore complies with the most stringent ECO standards.

The lining of our bags are made out of exceptional quality hand woven organically dyed silk. The protective parts of our bags are made out of 100% natural horse hair from Inner-Mongolia to replace protective synthetic material foam, which makes the product truly eco-friendly
