The very first prototype of my staple clubbing clutch. It’s already survived a few intense nights out — and still looks great. The kind of piece that only gets better with age.
Made from heavyweight reverse horse culatta, vegetable-tanned and rich with that unmistakable and addictive leathery scent.
- 2 additional slots on the inside made from horse shoulder.
- Roughly 20×10×2 cm
- Heavy-duty rivets, nickel-plated brass hardware, and a thick shoulder strap
- Tactile, secure Cobrax snap button
This particular culatta cut has just a hint of shell cordovan at the edges, with a rugged roughout feel throughout.
As the very first edition of what became my favorite design, this bag was tested in real-world use — and now comes with a special discount to reflect that. Still perfectly functional and full of character.
Please note, that samples and protoypes on sale may have small imperfections and store the history of my design process. All samples are sold at a discount.
All leather items are hand-stitched and handmade without any machines from the most amazing materials. Traditional veg tan leather, deadstock Italian leather, glass glazed horse shoulder, horse culatta and shell cordovan. You can read more about the horse leather in the blog.
