THE POGLIA PORTER (HAT HOLDER) / NATURAL*
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.
Natural Finish
Our natural finish is our lighter leather finish, comparatively. Although it’s “cleaner,” it may still have some scuffs and stains, which we preserve to keep the leather’s natural character. Over time it, like all of our bags, will develop a natural patina.
*Colors may vary from super light to a light tan depending of the natural exposition to light during the process
How to: Age your own bag using our Weather Aged process.
A note on pre-orders: We do our best to maintain expected dates on all pre-orders, but these are estimates which may slightly fluctuate depending on the scarcity of some materials and nature of our process.
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!
