LEATHER: The outside of Tasman bag is made out of leather. Leather is made from bull skin and during a proces that is called tanneries it is made into the leather we know. The process is done with great possible durability. While dividing the molds and cutting the leather there are always left over parts. To reduce waste we make accessoires out of these parts.
