Convertible Fringe Belt Bag in Saffron

With the cool '90s silhouette of a bucket backpack and the 2020 vision of fashion fanny pack, this slouchy belt bag holds more than meets the eye. Tasseled zipper-pulls provide easy access and a swingy dynamism; a fully adjustable strap means it can be worn cross-body, on your shoulder or remove it fully if you’re feeling fancy. Functional, unfussy, and fringed. Period. We work with Italian artisans in a pure vegetable tannery in the hills of Tuscany. They’ve perfected the process of vegetable tanning. There are two ways leathers are tanned: chrome and vegetable tanning. In chrome tanning, which is less expensive and faster than vegetable tanning, chromium and other chemicals are used to expedite the tanning process. Our leathers are vegetable tanned, a method of tanning that’s been around for centuries. It gets its name, “vegetable,” because of the natural materials used in the tanning process, like tree bark. Each hide is tanned in a vegetable dye for about twenty-eight days. The result: gorgeous leather that will become darker, softer, and even more unique with time. Hands-free perfection defines our versatile belt bag, a favorite as a crossbody for dresses--or at the waist with jeans and an oversized sweater.
