Our Hunter Leather was the first eco-leather created for O My Bag. Our hunter leather is now produced by Shee Sen Tannery. This leather has an open structure with no synthetic finish. All heavy chemicals are avoided in the tanning process. This is the toughest of our leathers and has a vintage look and feel. Over time, this leather will soften and develop a beautiful sheen.
Our Leathers
Our premium quality eco-leathers are tanned without the use of harmful chemicals like chromium and have no synthetic top finish. We choose to work with naturally tanned leathers not only because it’s safer for people and the planet, but also because they give each O My Bag product a unique look and feel. We also introduced our best selling bags in a vegan alternative made from apple waste.
HUNTER LEATHER
CLASSIC LEATHER
Our Classic Leather collection has two different origins. The original Classic Leather comes from Kolkata, India, and the second is a Vachetta leather from Tuscany, Italy. Both natural leathers are characterized by a satin gloss sheen and a smooth gentle feel. This collection also features Croco Leather which is heat embossed Croco print on Classic Leather.
SOFT GRAIN LEATHER
O My Bag Soft Grain Leather is also produced by Sean’s Shee Sen Tannery in Kolkata, India. This leather has a soft exterior, but a reliable thickness. Like our Stromboli Leather, the Soft Grain has been rotated in a milling drum to bring out it’s natural grain and texture. The soft supple feel gives it a luxurious look and finish.
STROMBOLI LEATHER
Stromboli Leather is a thick yet supple vegetable-tanned leather, softened during the tanning process through a milling drum technique. This process enhances its natural texture and fine lines, giving it a rich, dynamic appearance. The texture and grain evolve constantly, making each piece one-of-a-kind with distinct variations. This ever-changing nature makes every bag unique.
CROCO PRINT
Our Croco-embossed leather, made at Shee Shen Tannery, utilizes a heat press technique on our Classic and Soft Grain Leathers. Each bag and accessory made from this leather boasts a unique pattern, as each item is cut from a different part of the print. The high temperatures required for this technique can sometimes darken lighter leathers like Cognac and Wild Oak. By applying the Croco print, small natural defects such as tick bites, stretch marks, or other scratches are effectively concealed, allowing us to use more of the leather and reduce waste.
Vegan Uppeal™
Vegan Uppeal™ is produced from Uppeal™ by the FRUMAT factory in North Italy. 100% vegan, it has an almost identical touch and feel to our classic leather, and is slightly lighter in weight than our non-vegan leathers.
Woven leather
Our Woven Leather collection comes from Springfield - our partner factory in Kolkata, India. Springfield works with a group of women in Bilpar, a small village on the outskirts of Kolkata, who weave the leather. By providing work opportunities to these 40 women which they can complete from home, we are making a positive difference in their lives and the lives of their families.
Mirum®
MIRUM® is the world’s first plastic-free alternative to leather. It stands out as a low carbon and 100% biobased material. Mirum is made from natural materials including certified natural rubber, natural pigments, and minerals. It is backed with GOTS-certified cotton canvas, giving it the necessary strength and durability.
COLOR EVOLUTION
Our O My Bags are designed to last a lifetime and you’ll often see the color change gradually as the years go by. This is one of the beautiful features of our natural, vegetable tanned leathers. There are colors that stay true to their original tones, but many vegetable tanned leathers change with use.
LIGHT SCRATCHES
Due to the open structure, our leathers may arrive with small light scratches from transportation. These can be removed with the correct leather lotion, such as Collonil 1909 Leather Lotion or Collonil Organic Shine & Care.
STRETCH & TICK MARKS
All our leathers are cow hide, which naturally come into contact with their surroundings. We keep the natural look of the leather in tact. This means that marks like tick or stretch marks on the leather may be visible.
UNEVEN SURFACE
In some of our designs the leather is sewn together inside out, and then pulled through. This process may cause some surfaces to look bumpy. Popular designs that have this look include Georgia in Hunter Leather, Luna and the Ally Bag.
