The Story
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.
