Leather sustainability

Bags at Main in leather: a sustainable investment

Leather is a matNoble and timeless egiau, used for millennia to make clothes, shoes, bags, and much more.
But at a time when sustainability becomes a priority, a question arises: is leather really a lasting choice?

At the house of OH MY BAG, We are committed to a daily basis to offer you a range of handbags, developed in compliance with this matinoble era of leather.

Our workshops

They work with the food industry, promoting these "by-products" from our daily consumption. Researched, transformed and enhanced using ancestral processes, the skins that make up our handbags are of European origin and are part of a circular economy. With an ethical commitment, our leather craftsmen are committed to environmental and social standards. The workshops we work with cowhide leather are located in Italy, providing fast delivery by land. No more imports by boat or plane! All shipments are optimized to ensure the most environmentally friendly transit possible. We work every day to reduce the impact of overproduction and provide you with a guarantee of quality.

We also value the offcuts of rare, exotic, precious skins by sourcing from major luxury leather goods houses, in order to work with leather scraps or the end of rolls. Over the years of its existence, OH MY BAG has developed partnerships with local players, located in the Val d'Oise. Cradle of theFrench leather goods, this department has notably hosted the workshops of Hermès and Dior. Our leather craftsman and his made in France productions establish their place within our collections, by offering you small leather goods accessories made in ostrich leather, python and cowhide, all from the end of luxury rolls.

The transformation of skins into pieces of leather as we know them is part of an approach of upcycling : the valorization of an existing material into a quality product is a perfect example. In addition, the use of the ends of rolls from large companies allows these offcuts to be recycled by making small leather goods high-end.

Sustainability

Leather is a material used sustainably at OH MY BAG. Our artisans implement the ancestral know-how of the leatherwork in order to restore the nobility of this material. Resulting from a complex transformation process, cowhide leather goes through different stages before being transformed into the material that we love so much in our wardrobe. With a adapted maintenance to the type of leather concerned, your bag can be passed down from generation to generation! Our range in vintage leather will develop an elegant patina over the years, giving it additional charm...

Your handbag or your accessory leather bag needs to be repaired or restored? Don't hesitate to call your shoemaker who will be able to extend the life of your bag... cleaning in depth and the waxing will help to reduce or even eliminate any deep-set stains.

Your shoemaker can also carry out maintenance and hydration of your bag by applying a recoloring polish that reduces the passage of time and the marks that accompany it. With a custom dyeing process, it will be possible to regain (or almost) the original color! It is also possible to carry out interior repairs such as seams, interior lining, zippers, handles, straps, tabs... Or to add elements such as a shoulder strap.
