Two bags in one, 'Attach and Detach'. A unique concept utilising a larger bag to hold all the items you need for your child, work, gym or travel and a detachable cross body bag that attaches to the outside, seemingly as a pocket just for your essentials such as keys, phone, wallet etc, a clear division of possessions, ready to detach anytime.

ATTACH + DETACH - OUR UNIQUE CONNECT CONCEPT
Amazing for any woman, but perfect as a bag for the modern mother, when used as a nappy bag this clear division between mum and bubs things, means less time fishing around, separating and double checking when transitioning in and out of mum mode.
The Cross Body quickly attaches and detaches from the front of the backpack. Mum and baby's possessions have a clear division, and Mum can remove her Crossbody at any time quickly to duck off at a moments notice, ensuring she has all her essentials. It's also perfect for travelling, or any use where you want to be able to duck off with just your essentials without having to fish around in a large bag to locate them or carry two separate bags. Women without children also love the convenience of having a clear division between their work and personal items and being able to separate the two anytime you like! In fact... we think it would be the ultimate commuter - pack everything you need for work, arrive, stash the backpack under your desk and pop to meetings and lunch with just the Crossbody!
LEATHER
Bag outer - Semi Aniline, Semi Vegetable Tanned leather proudly sourced from a Leather Working Group Gold Rated Tannery. The leathers are buffalo along with NZ sourced bubble sheep leather.
Anilines are often considered the finest of all leathers. They are soft, supple, warm to touch and are naturally beautiful. Being Full Grain they display natural markings including pores, wrinkles and even, minor scars. Each piece of leather, and therefore bag is unique. However, with minimal coatings on the surface, they are also vulnerable to stains. This is not a fault of the leather, but an inherent characteristic of a quality leather, the leather may stain, darken and develop a patinas if exposed to body oils, creams, perfumes, and some foods. However over time any stains will soften in appearance, especially if conditioned and your bag will soften, crease and take on it's own beautiful, unique appearance.
The tan colourway has been treated with a sealing coat to minimise stains, however please note that stains will still occur. You may wish to recoat your bag with a waterproofing spray periodically if you would prefer to minimise any markings.
Leather naturally stretches; however, it will not contract again. To preserve the shape of your piece, please do not overfill it.
Bag inner lining - water resistant wipe clean nylon - not removable but can be lifted up from the bag inner for spot cleaning

SUSTAINABILITY
Leather is a natural, renewable material made from animal hides that have been preserved and softened through a tanning process. This leather is semi vegetable tanned.
This leather is sourced from a Leather Working Group (LWG) audited and rated tannery. LWG aims to improve the environmental impact of the leather industry by assessing and certifying leather manufacturers. The audit covers energy use, waste, water use and chemicals, as well as traceability. We are please to be including LWG leathers in our collections.
We have selected a durable buffalo leather for longevity, it ages well and is easy to care for. Unlike synthetic materials leather will develop a patina and just gets better with age. Leather can be recycled or upcycled, and once it reaches the end of its lifecycle it is biodegradable
Our bags are made in small batches to ensure no excess product and waste to landfill. They are made from quality leathers and thoughtfully designed to ensure you can 'buy less. buy better' and use your bag for many years across multiple iterations of your life phases.
