About My Materials

Leather Collection

My leather bags are crafted from premium chrome-tanned leathers, chosen for their durability, softness, and timeless character. I occasionally work with vegetable-tanned leather for certain designs.

• Sourcing: All leathers are ethically sourced as a by-product of the food industry.

• Quality: Natural variations and markings are part of the leather’s authenticity.

• Character: Unique grain patterns mean no two bags are ever quite the same.

• Sustainability: By working with leather, I minimise waste and create long-lasting pieces built to be cherished.

Heritage Collection

For my Heritage Collection, I pair leather with genuine Harris Tweed® cloth, which is handwoven by islanders in their homes in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, using pure virgin wool that has been dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides. This iconic fabric is protected by the Harris Tweed® Authority Orb certification mark, recognised worldwide as a symbol of quality and heritage.

• Authenticity: Every Harris Tweed® bag I create carries the Orb certification mark, guaranteeing its provenance.

• Durability: Woven to withstand daily use while maintaining elegance.

• Care: Each Harris Tweed® and leather bag comes with a custom dust bag for storage and protection.

Vegan-Friendly Designs

In the past, I have created vegan-friendly bags using carefully chosen materials such as organic cotton oilskin, water-resistant canvas, and custom-printed fabrics produced in the UK. These designs were made with the same commitment to quality, durability, and craftsmanship as my leather and Harris Tweed® collections.

At present, I am not restocking vegan-friendly designs once current pieces sell out. Selected styles may return in the future, but availability will remain limited.

Linings & Hardware

• Water-Resistant Linings: Every bag includes a custom water-resistant lining to protect your belongings.

• Durable Hardware: Functional yet refined, with nickel-free options available (as someone with a nickel allergy, I understand the importance of this).

• Premium Finishes: Select designs feature luxury brass or stainless-steel fittings.

Commitment to Sustainability

• Materials are sourced thoughtfully and in limited runs to avoid excess and waste.

• Each bag is individually cut and sewn in my Welsh studio.

• By focusing on quality and longevity, my bags are made to be loved for years to come — a sustainable alternative to fast fashion.

✨ Every Emma Easter Handcrafted bag is a balance of heritage, sustainability, and individuality — designed to be as practical as it is beautiful.
