The story

This pouch is named for the leather that never got the credit.

Cut small and stitched by hand, with a rolled edge that softens in a pocket rather than cracking. Big enough for coins, a key and a folded note. It will darken at the corners where your thumb finds it.

This red comes from a hide we bought whole. When it’s finished, it’s finished — it was never a colour anyone manufactured.

Named for Sokoto. Made in South Africa.

Materials & dimensions

Full-grain leather, hand-cut and stitched, solid brass hardware, hand-burnished edges.
Dimensions listed per piece.

Care

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Keep out of direct sun. Feed with a neutral leather balm two or three times a year — more if you wear them hard.

Shipping & returns

For four hundred years the finest leather in Europe was called Moroccan. Most of it was red goatskin from the Sokoto plains, carried north by caravan and finished in Fez. It bound the books of European libraries under a borrowed name.
