commitment to quality
Our Leather
At xobruno, each hide is chosen independently for its weight, color, temperament and durability. Hides are chosen specifically to perform best with each design, and to age beautifully. We source exclusively from tanneries that utilize waste from the US meat industry, directly impacting the number of hides that enter landfills. Our goal is to create our designs using the highest quality materials while creating as little scrap as possible, lessening the environmental impact of the cattle industry.
Napa: This leather has a smooth grain and is hot stuffed with oils and waxes to accomplish a transparent, satin finish and an expressive, elegant pull up
Pebble: An unbelievably supple, thick and flexible leather with a luscious, soft, silky touch. Pigments are impregnated and enriched with oil to ensure a classic, rich look and hand
Crazy Horse: A timeless and traditional oil tanned cowhide with a satin finish, meant to have that old worn look and slight patina with age
Latigo: This belt-grade latigo is rich and strong, and gets better with age. A true heritage leather
Grizzly: A beautifully muted and soft tempered leather with rugged structure and old-world esthetic
Bridle strapping: Full-grain vegetable tanned leather, drum dyed and hot stuffed with oils and pigments. This leather is finished on both sides and becomes more supple over time.
Hardware
We use raw brass and nickel whenever possible, as these metals have proven their strength and durability in myriad applications, and provide elegance and a heritage finish to our products. At times, nickel-plated brass, steel or aluminum are choice due to durability and availability. All hardware is solid/die-cast. We strive to utilize the strongest and most elegant hardware that will endure daily use for years to come.
Leather Care
Our leathers are created to stand the test of time. We suggest purchasing a horse hair hat brush, and brushing your leather at least once a season. In general, our leathers do not require cleaners or the use of conditioners, and in the case of our pebble and crazy horse leathers, we do not suggest conditioning due to discoloration. if your leather becomes wet, simply pat to clean, and let dry. Rubbing the leather with your fingers spreads your natural oils back into any lines. Generally, a slightly damp soft cloth, or brushing are the best solutions to minor soiling.
Lifetime warranty
We believe in a "fewer, finer" approach to the acquisition of intentional, functional goods. We oil our boots seasonally, store our wool and cashmere with cedar, and we expect our leathers to outlive us. This is why we design and construct our bags, wallets, and accessories to go the distance.
EACH XOBRUNO CARRY COMES WITH A LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY WHICH COVERS ALL DEFECTS IN MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP FOR THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT. YOUR BAG WILL PATINA OVER TIME, A NATURAL AND PERSONAL PROCESS UNIQUE TO YOUR LIFESTYLE AND BAG.
We are unwavering in our commitment to carry the tradition of quality and conscious craftsmanship through each creation.
