Madel Bag

Product Details

One of ELK's most popular styles, our Madel Bag is influenced by the simplicity of Scandinavian design. Compact functionality meets stylish sensibility and the raw, unlined nature of the leather makes this a classic style. The adjustable strap can be removed to instantly transform Madel from an everyday shoulder bag into an evening clutch, which seals itself closed with secure double magnets.

Material

Remnant Cow Leather, Cotton Lining, Metal Zips and Hardware

Our remnant program utilises existing leather stocks that our manufacturers have on hand, from our production as well as from other brands, ensuring none of it goes to waste. Leather is a natural, renewable material made from animal hides that have been preserved and softened through a tanning process.

We select our leathers based on their individual properties and the intended application. Leather lasts a long time, ages well and is easy to care for and repair. Leather will develop patina over time and gets better with age. Buying a well-made leather product can be considered an investment that supports slow fashion.

This product is made from leather sourced from a Leather Working Group (LWG) audited and rated tannery. LWG aims to improve the environmental impact of the leather industry by assessing and certifying leather manufacturers. The audit protocol covers energy use, waste, water use and chemicals, as well as traceability. Chromium VI is not used in any tanning processes for our leathers.

Care Instructions

To maintain the beauty of your ELK bag we recommend protective sprays and using a good quality leather conditioner to treat the product, which will increase its longevity. Do not put leather pieces on the ground or rub against abrasive surfaces. Leather is a natural material and will wear with age and use.

The dye in the leather can sometimes rub off so please be aware of this when wearing light clothing or placing the leather item on light surfaces.
