MOORE & GILES BISON LEATHER BAGS

Along with the new wallet arrivals, we have also gotten in stock three new bags from Moore & Giles, all of which are made from American bison leathers. The leathers used are absolutely gorgeous. The nubuck especially has an incredibly soft feel while remaining substantial and thick.

Regarding their bison leathers, the Moore & Giles website states:
"Real American Bison hides, carefully tanned in Italy to showcase the distinct bold grain. Unique fiber structure provides tremendous strength and durability. Bison Buck features a waterproofing top treatment for protection and easier maintenance. This leather represents hundreds of years of American history and five generations of Italian craftsmanship."

The leathers used are a nubuck in either chocolate or tan color and a darker shade of "Americana" bison leather which features a waxed finish.
