Leather is a natural animal material. Leather products offer durability and longevity, as they are not only made to last but soften and gain character with age. We have used remnant leathers to create this style. By liaising closely with our makers, we are able to use up discarded leathers from either ELK or other brands' production, ensuring it does not go to waste.
Maker
Manufacturer: Ellavana (Noida, India)
Tannery: Chieh Shing Tannery (West Bengal, India), Alsa Tannery (Haryana, India) and Angel Leathers (Punjab, India)
These leather pieces are made in India by family owned and operated company Ellevana.

Care Instructions
To maintain the beauty of your ELK bag we recommend protective sprays and using a good quality leather conditioner to treat the product, which will increase its longevity. Do not put leather pieces on the ground or rub against abrasive surfaces. Leather is a natural material and will wear with age and use. The dye in the leather can sometimes rub off so please be aware of this when wearing light clothing or placing the leather item on light surfaces.
