Our Leather

Craftsmanship and Material Excellence

At GoodHides, we meticulously craft each bag from full-grain leather, the highest quality layer of the hide. This premium material preserves the natural characteristics and unique markings of the leather, ensuring that every piece is both distinctive and durable. Our selection process considers factors such as texture, design, and functionality to ensure that only the finest materials are chosen for our bags.

Embracing the Patina

With regular use, your leather bag will develop a natural patina—a soft sheen and deepening color that result from exposure to body oils, sunlight, and daily handling. This evolving characteristic enhances the bag's beauty and individuality over time, making it uniquely yours.

Leather Care Guidelines

To maintain the elegance and longevity of your GoodHides bag, please consider the following care recommendations:

• Protect from Excessive Heat and Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct heat or sunlight can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or fade unevenly. Store your bag in a cool, shaded area to preserve its quality. 

• Avoid Moisture: Keep your bag away from water and moisture to prevent damage. If it becomes wet, gently blot with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources

• Conduct Spot Testing: Before applying any cleaning or conditioning products, perform a spot test on an inconspicuous area. Apply a small amount of the product, wait 24 hours, and check for any adverse effects such as discoloration or damage.

• Maintain Cleanliness: Natural oils from your skin can darken the leather. Ensure your hands are clean and dry before handling your bag to prevent unintended staining.

• Protect from Stains: Items like makeup and cosmetics can stain leather. Keep such products in a protective pouch or separate compartment to avoid contact with the leather.

• Avoid Overloading: Overstuffing your bag can alter its shape and design. Use your bag within its intended capacity to maintain its structural integrity.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your GoodHides bag remains a timeless accessory, gracefully aging and developing character with each use.
