Our Leathers

Every Assots piece starts with a hide chosen for a specific quality, structure, softness, or grain, then tanned and finished to suit the bag it becomes. Here is what goes into each one.

BELLA LEATHER

This beautiful 'Bella' leather is made from Buff Calf fine grain hide. The hide is specially selected to produce this type of leather. The bags crafted from 'Bella' leather are semi-structured lending into a product of finesse quality, making it an all-time favourite for our designers.
