About Us and our Leathers

 

Our Story

 

Shed leather is a dream come true for Bag designer Debby. Being a handbag lover herself she had always thought of designing her own bag and having it made. Well that is exactly what she did.

While holidaying in Indonesia she found a tailor who would make her “Dream Bag”.

This gave her inspiration to get more creative and keep designing. Not bags just to suit her but a range of bags with ranging sizes, colours, pockets, shoulder straps length and the list goes on….

We now have a team of talented tailors who handmake our Bags with the finest craftmanship and skill. There are no large factories involved in creating our bags . Because of this each bag is never 100% the same.

OUR LEATHERS:

All our bags are made from sheep and Lamb leather making them extremely light to wear. Small imperfections on the leather in some places  are considered a natural part of the leather patina.

Our Antique leathers are a super soft Lamb leather that has been made to look aged, patchy and has a worn look which is all part of the design. The blemishes and marks in these leathers are meant to be there!

Our Rustic leathers are similar but made in Sheep leather (slightly firmer than lamb) which is also made to look older, worn and marked. 

I chose these Rustic and Antique leathers to add into our Shed Leather collection, as these 2 types of leather are by far my personal favorites (as can be seen by reviews also the customers favorites!).

We endeavor to show as close as possible the colours of our bags on our website but due to computer and phone colour settings they may vary slightly.

 Our Furs are Goat or Cow. Longer hair being Goat.

All these leathers and Hides are ethically sourced and are a by-product of the meat and dairy industry. This meaning the hides would have been thrown out and discarded.

Happy Shopping and enjoy your Shed Leather Handbag.
