Product Description:

They say that Virginia is for lovers, and you will love this Virginia. The Virginia shape is adorable, the chestnut alpine calf has an amazing pebbled texture and scratch resistance, and the liner is a timeless oat pigsuede. The combination is simply irresistible. The chestnut collection, inspired by nature, is also an icon of elegance. The deep espresso brown edgepaint paired with ivory hand-stitching throughout bring to mind a time when things were still handmade to last.  It features one short rolled handle that drapes easily over the crook of your arm. It also has buttons along the top that can be unsnapped to allow more room along the opening.  A small handbag that can totally transform any outfit (and any day). Let the Virginia bag be your go-to!

Leather as a Natural Product:

Real, full-grain leather is a natural product.  Each hide has a certain amount of “irregularities” which those in the leather business call “character.”  Some hides even come with brand marks (which are awesome), nicks, bites, bumps, scars, and other awesome items of character.  In the end, this is a sign that your leather is real, unadulterated, one of a kind, premium leather that will last for years.  

Handmade in USA:

Every Beargrass Leather is crafted by either Samantha or Benjamin in scenic Montana.  

Leather Care:

For most Beargrass Leather products, we recommend Montana Pitch Blend for care and conditioning.  Montana pitch blend performs two roles:  conditioning and protection.  The mink oil will soften the leather while the wax will help protect the leather from weather and wear.  Montana Pitch Blend may darken leather, but most leather will darken over time.

For finer leather like french calf, a gentle cleaner may be preferable. A good suggestion is Saphir Medaille d'Or Renovator.

For bags made of hair, simply wipe with a damp cloth with either simple water or a mild soapy water.  Do not soak.  Cow hair is extremely durable to the elements, but doesn’t handle rubbing as well as finished leather.

Dye:

Most of our products are tanned and dyed by the tannery.  As any color or dye, it may rub off if vigorously rubbed or wet.  Over years of use, very few products have shown any rub-off of color.  Nevertheless, the use of a good conditioner like Montana Pitch Blend with natural oils and waxes will help .  But in the meantime, use caution.
