The leather we use for our handbags and other products is a natural analine leather with a natural wax finish. It doesn’t have any nasty protective chemical coating so the leather will mark with use. When you first receive your Nomad & Nest leather handbag the cut hide will have lots of loose crumb-like fibres from the crust (the underside) of the hide. Your Nomad & Nest handbag or fashion accessory will carry on shedding in its very early days of use because it’s is a natural material - but it really doesn’t do it for long. Over time and with use the leather handbag will change, often darkening, become richer & softer with a patina that enhances its character. The leather we use for our handbags, fashion accessories and other products has a high tensile strength. It’s resistant to tearing, its soft supple and light weight. It’s warm, comfortable and of high quailty to last a lifetime.
