A luxury handbag is not just about leather quality

Hardware on a bag is the crown jewel that no one talks about, according to our Director of Craftsmanship. Most bags feature Zamak, which is cheap, easy to mould and at its lowest level toxic. At STOW we use top tier stainless steel with the highest technology PVD coating which is long lasting and for the most part, scratch proof. It comes at a high price but we think spending on hardware is only part of what it takes to make a luxury leather bag to last. Watch Tanner's video here for more information about bag hardware.
