Triple City Leather Bag

Product Details

Our Triple City Bag, now in classic tan leather, is one of our favourite ELK styles. The compact yet functional design has room for all of your day-to-day essentials, with three internal zipper compartments, a detachable wrist strap (allowing the style to double as a clutch) and a cross-body strap which is both detachable and adjustable. The Triple City Bag is equally at home while travelling or for an evening out - seamlessly combining classic style and everyday functionality in one convenient design.

Material

100% Goat Leather

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. Unlike many synthetic materials, leather develops patina over time and gets better with age. Buying a well-made leather product can be considered an investment and supports the slow fashion ethos of “buying less, buying better”. Leather can be recycled or upcycled, and once it reaches the end of its lifecycle it is biodegradable.

Chromium VI is not used in any tanning processes for our leathers.

Maker

These leather pieces are handmade in India by family owned and operated company Malhotra Leather Exports. We visit Malhotra, in Noida, two to three times a year to assess working conditions, manufacturing processes and to see our goods being made. The leathers used are selected for their appearance, suitability and hand feel. Every component and element of our pieces are chosen for a reason. Linings, trims, findings and leathers are all carefully selected. Each design is both independently and internally tested by our production team, at ELK HQ.

The factory was established in 1954 where they began trading and exporting leather and leather products which were sourced from meat producers. It is very much a family run business with many members of the family involved in each aspect of their operation. Additionally, 100% of their workers are salaried.

Leathers are sourced from different places according to their properties, hardware is mostly from China, through Global Tags Asia, and frames etc. from Germany through Auro GmbH.

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.
