Dessie Backpack

Full-grain leather is cowhide in it's most authentic form. All layers of the hide are kept intact, maintaining ultimate durability and resiliency. It is the highest grade of genuine leather.

We source our bag leather from a tannery in Ethiopia that partners with local farmers. A byproduct of the meat industry, leather hides are collected and taken back to the capital where they are tanned.

We recommend conditioning every few months with our specially formulated leather balm. This will maintain the moisture balance of the leather, erasing scratches and leading to ultimate durability and longevity. Read our leather care page for more info.
