Our durable leather goods are unlined, featuring the natural suede side of the hide. Because leather is a natural material, slight color and batch variations are normal. Factors like hide age, season, and dye absorption can all affect the final shade, making each piece uniquely yours.
Our oil tanned leather is incredibly easy to care for. With time and use, the natural oils in the leather will rise to the surface, developing a beautiful patina & smoothing any scuffs or scratches that may have accumulated. Learn more about caring for your new leather product.
Our full-grain leather is the strongest and most durable available, and the unique texture and natural imperfections from the cow's life have not been sanded, cut or shaved off. Full-grain is SIX times stronger than Buffed, Upholstery or Genuine leather. Please note that our pebbled leather, like all of our leather, is a natural product. You may notice changes in grain or texture throughout your bag.
Almost perfect
Premium Collection
Other companies artificially press a pebble texture into their leather. However, the pebbling of our leather is achieved naturally through an extra tumbling process which leaves some areas of the hide smoother than others.
Savings
Almost Perfect items can feature more prominent character marks than our Premium line, and/or small stitching variations, showcasing the aesthetic variety of our natural hides and handmade designs.
Why do you use leather with prominent character marks in the first place?
We only qualify Almost Perfect in terms of cosmetic irregularities that have absolutely no impact on the quality or durability of our products. Rather, we figured that it'd be a shame to waste such beautiful and functional leather, so we decided to sell it at a discounted price.
What type of imperfection will I get with this bag?
Each of our Almost Perfect bags is one of a kind! While we can't say for sure which one you'll receive, some common character marks our customers find are pebbling and color variation, scars and striations, or a stitch out of place. That being said, rest assured that none of these "imperfections" will impact the functionality of the bag in any way!
What if I don't love my Almost Perfect bag?
Everything from our Almost Perfect collection (excluding Mystery Box bundles) falls under our usual return policy. For more detailed information, visit our Returns page.

Classy minimalism
by: Bethany C.
Looking for an elegant sidekick without hauling your whole life around? Cypress is your girl. She's classy, simple, compact and confident. Holds just enough for your day! I love the trees and the front pocket (that looks like 2 pockets because of the middle stitching but that is just design.. it is one pocket. if it were any smaller, it wouldnt hold a phone) This bag doesn't even need flair because she shines on her own. This holds about as much as a small raindrop, with just a smidge less breathing room. I would say it's in between Scarlett and Small Raindrop. Pictured is Smooth Black and Coldbrew.
Cypress Side Bag in lovely Nutmeg

I love the Cypress Bag because it's perfect size for the times you don't need EVERYTHING with you. I'm so glad to see more colors are available!
Gorgeous in Sienna
by: Mary D.
I had been wanting to try this style for a long time, but could not decide on a color. I finally pulled the trigger on Sienna and the chonkiness made me gasp as I took her out of the box. I also love the style. It is like the big sister to the Festival. Absolutely love this and feel SO darned lucky to have received this one!
Bigger than I thought!
by: Faith H.
I carry a large circle regularly and when this came in the mail and felt so much smaller in my hands I got nervous. But holds everything my large circle does easily! It's a really classic silhouette which will be great for travel. I anticipate it'll be a little fussy to get in and out of with the size of the zipper opening but nothing too obnoxious.
Love my bag

I have two CYPRESS bags now and want another one in red. They are perfect for all I need to bring with me when I'm on the go.
