The leather pouch is the most overlooked and function accessory. Use it to organize your bag (cables, chargers, pens, change, notepads, glasses, etc.) or as a daily hand-pouch to carry your personal items.  It's as functional as it is sleek, with a slim design and a gusseted body.   
 
This version is made from 100% vegetable tanned Horween leather in a true "Natural" color. Supple and smooth with a rich hand. expect the leather to darken and patina in a beautiful way over the years.  Designed, cut & sewn in our San Diego, California leather shop from US tanned leather and a solid-brass (Ykk - USA) zipper. 

One of my earliest memories of what I wanted to create in leathergoods, was inspired from the original COACH bags made in the 1960-70’s. Back then, they were actually made in their New York City factory (which was closed in the 1990's).  The designs were classic & timeless with minimal panels, rich, smooth “glove-tanned” leather and American craftsmanship. The Essex Collection is built on those standards but with some modern contrast and flare. We started with a leather that I wanted to use for years.  A natural, vegetable-tanned leather from the world-renowned HORWEEN tannery in Chicago. Essex leather is what most people would consider “glove-tanned" leather. It is smooth, supple and “glove-soft”. The beauty of the leather really is not fully recognized until it “patina’s” or breaks-in, especially with a natural color like this,  It will darken and age like a good baseball mitt.
