When you fall in love with a color this beautiful, you want to wear it as much as possible. Thankfully, the Crossbody Clutch functions as three bags in one. First, a beautiful clutch in its simplest form. Second, a crossbody bag when you use the back loops to attach a strap. Third, as an on-trend belt bag in always-essential black. With its convertible top and back loops, you can modify this nifty clutch into the luxury handmade accessory that fits your needs.
For colorfastness and protection of the leather, you can use a stain and water-resistant spray for leather such as Collonil Carbon Pro Spray, Scotch Guard, Kiwi or Fiebing, should you want to make the leather water-resistant. Test any leather treatment on a small area of the item and follow instructions carefully to prevent any damage to your piece. Should your leather product get wet, the best thing to do is get rid of the water stain before it has time to set. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, soak in as much water as you can by dabbing and not wiping. Allow the item to dry normally without artificial heat or excessive sunlight. After drying, if the water stain remains, a leather cleaner such as our leather serum can help minimize the water stain. Test any leather treatment on a small area and follow instructions carefully to prevent any damage to your piece. (Using a leather conditioner may darken the overall appearance of the leather, so you may want to clean and condition the entire leather based on the severity of the water stain.) For general care of your item in keeping the leather replenished, supple, and soft you can condition with a leather conditioner such as our leather serum. This leather conditioner can be used as often as desired to refresh your leather product.
We partner with Artisan Businesses in Uganda that are creating jobs for Artisans in their communities. Our first Partners, Jalia and Daniel, have grown their business to provide fair work to hundreds of local assemblers and bead-rollers. Another Partner, Sseko Designs, employs female scholars and women from all walks of life. Moms, daughters, designers, and cooks, all working together to make the world a little brighter.
Our Ugandan Artisan Partners create pieces out of several materials including oiled leather, cactus leather, paper beads, and ethically sourced horn. Their work is where art and precision meet-a careful cut here, a touch more blue there-to create consistently beautiful bags and accessories. Bead-makers hand mix each dye color and check every bead for quality. As the oiled leather pieces take shape and absorb other oils, they darken to become more beautiful and storied over time.
