THE POGLIA PORTER (HAT HOLDER)
The Poglia Porter embodies classic design with a modern twist on utility. Perfect for the traveler looking for a place to lay his/her hat.
At Poglia, we use one piece of vegetable tanned leather, nearly one half of a skin, to make our bags. That means fewer seams and improved overall durability. No two Poglia bags are the same. Each bag will retain markings from the original skin. We preserve these natural imperfections to enhance each piece's character and individuality.
Weather Aged
The weather aged finish is our signature; it’s age-old color comes from our weather-aging process by exposing the bag to the elements, and by treating the leather with natural oils to expedite its patina.
Unisex
Materials: Handmade with vegetable tanned leather, brass details.
Size: 18 in. x 5 in. x 13.5 in.
Notes:
- The weather-aged bag pictured developed its unique patina over the course of 6 months.
- This process relies on sunlight exposure, which during some months may require more time and result in a lighter color than originally expected.
*How to: Age your own bag using our Weather Aged process.
A note on pre-orders: We also make every effort to maintain the expected delivery dates for all pre-orders. However, please note that these dates are estimates and may fluctuate due to the availability of certain materials and/or processes. We prioritize shipping based on the waiting list, following a first-come, first-served basis.
THE WEATHER AGED PROCESS
To keep the process organic, we age the bags by exposing them to weather and later, by treating them with natural oil. Because we expose these bags to the elements they may develop natural stains. We don't have control over this, that's the beauty of the process.
During the Fall/Winter months in NY, our daylight hours shrink.... during these seasons, please allow a bit more time for the weather-aging process to occur. For the same reason, the weather-aged color may be a bit lighter. Still, with frequent use over time the leather will darken and develop a darker patina. The more sun the bag is exposed to, the faster the patina will develop!
