Leather over civilization, has played a very important role. The skins of deer, elk, bison, and so many animals all played an important part in satisfying man’s basic needs. Hides have given man clothing, shelter, carpets and even decorative attire. 


Leather turned into man made footwear, belts, clothing, containers, and even boats and armour. The main shirt for romans was made out of thick leather.



Over time, probably by accident and trial and error, man discovered ways of preserving and softening leather skins with things like bark extracts, grease, and even smoke. The art of tanning began and opened up all kinds of new items to come under the dominion of the leather worker.


Look at all Baggaholics' treasures! Rich in texture!








The grain, similar to human fingerprints, is unique to each individual hide. It is the hallmark of full grain leather hides and can vary from hide to hide or even within one particular hide.




Leather is a natural material. Leather is a lot like our skin – porous. 






Baggaholics' leather bags molds to a form, but will not stretch out of shape.
