Caring for Leather Accessories

Leather wants little: keep it dry, store it out of direct light, let it rest between uses, and condition it occasionally with a product made for its finish. Bags hold their shape stuffed lightly; belts rest rolled or hung; wallets are emptied of the excess cards that stretch their pockets permanently. Exotic leathers are more delicate, kept from water and heat and conditioned with exotic-specific products. Treated plainly, a full-grain accessory outlasts several fashion cycles, which is the economic argument the specialist retailers on this page are built on.

The leather category connects outward in every direction in this directory: leather bags on the bag page, leather gloves on the gloves page, leather wallets within the store pages, and the makers who work a single hide type, shearling at VillageShop, exotics at LAI, at their most specialized.

Common Questions

What counts as a leather accessory?

Any accessory made principally of leather: handbags and purses, wallets and billfolds, belts, gloves, leather hats and ties, travel goods, and small goods like card cases and key pieces. The category is organized by material rather than by item, which is why this page's listings range across bags, belts and wallets at once, and why a leather goods store appears under several item categories elsewhere in the directory. Buyers shop it by hide and construction first and by item second.

What are exotic leathers, and why do they cost more?

Exotics are hides beyond cattle: alligator, crocodile, lizard, ostrich, karung and other skins, used by Luxury Accessories International and the designers it supplies. They cost more because the hides are rarer, smaller, harder to cut and finish, and patterned by nature, so panels must be matched. An alligator bag's price is mostly hide and handwork. Exotics also carry legal and sourcing rules that volume leathers do not, which specialist importers like Disbrok built their business on managing.

How can a buyer judge leather accessory quality?

By hide, stitching and edges. Full-grain leather, the top layer of the hide with its natural surface, is the strongest and best-aging grade; corrected and split leathers cost less and wear less well. Stitching should be dense, even and finished, edges dyed or burnished smooth rather than raw, and linings and hardware in proportion to the price. A good leather accessory also smells of leather rather than chemicals and creases without cracking when the surface is bent.
