LEATHER YOU SHOULD CHOOSE

Yes, we do understand the confusion. So many amazing looking bags with so many amazing pics with great looking models. Its gets really confusing when it comes to choosing a leather bag. The major confusion comes into place when it comes to choosing what kind of leather to go for. Well, we are here to help with that.

High On Leather bag collection majorly consists of 3 kinds Leather material.

1. Goat Leather Bags- When we say goat leather, people mind usually turn towards all those amazon or thrift store leather bags that they purchased in very cheap quality which did not last very long. Well, this is where High On Leather draws a line.

Our goat leather collection is vegetable tanned without any use of chemicals, but not only that, we have our separate tanneries where they are made to last. 

Unfortunately, there are some manufacturers and companies who sell poor quality satchels and bags made from low quality leather at very high cost which has created this idea, and this can be the case with if you buy from these sellers. Its basically down to the tanning process. Poorly tanned leather of any sort can carry an odor - largely an overly strong leather/earthy or even acrid smell which doesn't appeal to some people. High On Leather however, ensure that our bags undergo the best possible practices from start to finish - beginning with making sure our hides are all individually hand picked for quality, not bought in bulk. We then have all the hides washed up to 6 times, before tanning. Only then are they tanned professionally to a high standard. We can assure you, unlike our competitors, our bags will only smell beautifully of real leather.

Not only that it comes with a very strong canvas lining inside the bag and the straps which makes it last longer than usual goat leather bags.
