Women's and men's leather bags from the Vintage collection are of exceptional quality and style
Leather bags - both large travel bags, briefcases and briefcases or women's leather bags - hand-made in India, Bhutan or Madagascar are synonymous with the highest quality and unique style. Leather is characterized by a unique - natural texture, elasticity and durability, which makes it an ideal material for luxury accessories, including bags of all types. The advantages of vintage leather bags are primarily exceptional durability, unique natural look (the characteristic texture gives each bag a unique character) and lightness - despite the solid construction, the bags are surprisingly light. It is also worth remembering that each bag is hand-made and therefore each is unique. Indian craftsmen pass on their skills from generation to generation, creating bags that combine tradition with modern design. This is an investment for years, which over time takes on an even more beautiful character.
In small, family workshops scattered across India, Pakistan, Bhutan and Madagascar, the art of making leather bags is passed down from generation to generation. These small factories, often run by entire families, are the heart of local crafts, where each bag is created as a result of painstaking handwork. The process begins with traditional tanning of the leather - in India, natural extracts from the bark of trees, especially acacia, are used, which give the leather its characteristic color and durability. The raw hides are soaked in special pools filled with plant solutions, where for weeks the process of transforming the raw material into flexible, durable leather takes place. Then the hides are dried in the sun, stretched on wooden frames under the open sky. Each bag is then hand-cut, sewn and decorated by experienced craftsmen who have honed their skills for decades...

Choosing the perfect travel bag is a key decision for any traveler. The two most popular materials – thick cotton canvas and leather – offer different advantages for different needs.
Cotton canvas bags are a great choice for active travelers. They are lighter, easier to clean and much more weather-resistant. Canvas is great for trekking, backpacking or weekend trips out of town. They are also more affordable and available in a wide range of colours and patterns.
Leather travel bags are synonymous with elegance and prestige. Perfect for business trips, where a professional look counts. Natural leather ages beautifully , with the passage of time. Leather bags are extremely durable - with proper care, they can serve for decades.
Well, the answer is not easy. The choice depends on the style of travel. Canvas is good for "adventure" travel, while leather is good for elegant business trips. Both materials have their place in the wardrobe of a conscious traveler.
Wagabund offers high-quality travel bags in both materials, tailored to the needs of every traveler.
