Weekender Berlin aus Olivenleder
Not just the right choice for a weekend trip: the "Berlin" weekender made of olive leather offers perfect carrying comfort. This is ensured by the extra-wide, sturdy leather strap and the shoulder pad reinforced with wool felt. The shoulder bag can be transformed into a handbag with indestructible handles in just two simple steps. The sturdy leather of the handles is also used for the base of the bag. The bag is lined with cognac-colored chrome-free tanned leather and features an extra-large main compartment, several slip pockets and a large zipped compartment.

This process and the resulting leather is purely plant-based and completely environmentally friendly. The handle is rather firm and slightly shiny, which benefits the bag.
Olivenleder® & Softnappa
Leather lore
The material of our olive leather and soft nappa bags is aniline leather. Aniline leathers are leathers dyed through with tar dyes (organic dyes) in the barrel. They are open-pore smooth leathers without a pigment layer (dye layer) on top. The surface structure of each hide becomes clear, they are soft to touch and are considered very valuable leathers. Initially, the leather may discolor, especially in connection with moisture. With further use, patina develops - a change in the surface and coloration, depending on the usage pattern and age of the bag. Over time, the pores close, it can absorb less moisture and release color.
