The Oaxacan Collection was designed to pair leather with wool, which highlights the beauty and history of the Oaxacan culture. Each piece is unique in pattern and color, making each bag absolutely one-of-a-kind.
The small village of Teotitlán del Valle near Oaxaca, Mexico is known for their hand-woven rugs. Many families in the village actively work to preserve the traditional plant and insect dyes of days past. Yarn dyed with natural materials such as lichen or the cochineal insect, are safer for the crafts people and you than chemically derived dyes.
All colors used in the dying process are found in nature. While more expensive than their synthetic counterparts, the natural dyes are chosen for their authenticity and out of respect for the longstanding cultural tradition.
One of the two dyes used in the collection that must be brought into Oaxaca, as it is not commonly found in the Oaxaca region in the amount needed to dye the yarn.
Flowers are picked in the surrounding Oaxacan mountains to create the yellow and orange dyes, seen so vibrantly in our recent batch.
Considered the most important coloring, cochineal is a parasitic insect that lives on the pads of the prickly pear cactus. The females produce the primary coloring agent, carminic acid. They are dried and ground into a fine powder, which can yield vibrant reds, deep crimsons and scarlets, rich purples and outrageous oranges.
We invite you to check our recent batch of one of a kind bags from our Oaxacan Collection, and pick a symbol and bag that calls to you.

Product Care Information
We highly recommend using leather care treatment to maintain and preserve your leather products: Product Care
Our wax coated canvas is coated with paraffin which makes this water-resistant, but not waterproof. If your canvas product gets wet, we recommend you let it air dry thoroughly in a warm dry place. If at any time your canvas has scratches or marks, these can typically be reduced by using a hair dryer on medium heat to help the wax soften and absorb back into the canvas.

The monogram has existed since 350 B.C., but came into popularity as steam ships started to cross the Atlantic to help identify the trunks and luggage of the travelers. Today, the monogram remains a functional identifier, while also lending personal style to your leather goods.
Personalize your product or gift with a monogram in either our small 1/4" font or our large 1/2" font. We use traditional heat stamping to deboss into our vegetable tanned leather.
