Bags
Why these bags and not others
We buy bags the way we would buy them for ourselves. We handle the leather, test the weight on the shoulder, look at how the hardware sits and ask whether we would still want it in five years.
Fewer things, chosen well. A good bag is not one for every occasion. It is a small number that quietly do the work, from the everyday carryall to the weekender you pack without thinking.
Christian Kimber brings the leather weekenders and totes, Dylan Kain the everyday bag in gold hardware, ba&sh and Acler a softer feminine hand, and Rare Rabbit the wallets and small leather goods that finish it off.

Questions, answered
What leather are the bags made from?
Mostly full-grain Italian leather, much of it through Leather Working Group certified tanneries. Full-grain keeps the top layer of the hide, so it takes a patina instead of wearing through.
How do I care for a leather bag?
Keep it out of direct sun and away from heat, wipe it with a dry cloth and condition it once or twice a year. Store it stuffed so the shape holds.
Which bag for what?
A crossbody for a day on your feet, a tote for the drive down, a weekender for two nights. The product pages state the dimensions and what each one actually holds.
Do you offer complimentary shipping?
Yes, Australia-wide, wrapped and sent from Red Hill.
