Materials & Craftsmanship

We use premium full-grain leather, the highest quality layer of the hide, chosen for its strength and durability. Natural variations are part of its character, making each piece unique and designed to wear in beautifully over time.
What hardware do you use?
We use solid brass hardware selected for its durability and ability to age beautifully over time.
Where are your bags made?
Our bags are crafted in small batches in León, Mexico, a region known for its long-standing tradition of leather craftsmanship. We work with skilled artisans to ensure each piece reflects a high standard of quality and attention to detail.
Are your bags designed to last?
Yes. TAH bags are designed for daily use and long-term wear, using full-grain leather and solid brass hardware that hold up over time. With proper care, each piece is designed to last for years, not seasons.
Why won’t this bag wear out like others?
TAH bags are made from full-grain leather, which is significantly stronger than lower-grade or synthetic materials. Combined with durable hardware and thoughtful construction, each piece is designed to hold up to daily use and wear in over time rather than break down.

We focus on creating fewer, better pieces through small-batch production, reducing overproduction and waste. Our materials are selected for durability and longevity, extending the life of each bag.

Care

We recommend storing your bag in a dust bag when not in use and avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture. If needed, the leather can be gently wiped clean and conditioned occasionally. Over time, it will develop a rich patina.
