Toilet bag bull leather

Matching the Weekender made of bull leather, the Feinäschnerei Franz Hammann manufactures this culture bag. Equally opulent in material and equally elaborate in workmanship, it too is designed for stability and durability. In particular, the leather used is exceptional and is probably used only very rarely for articles such as toilet bags: the best bull hides of southern German and Austrian origin, which are vegetable tanned and aniline-dyed in Italy. In the process, the pigments penetrate deep into the leather so that its natural surface remains visible and a beautiful patina can form over time.
The body is crafted with neatly turned edges, open leather edges are carefully smoothed, dyed and waxed, leather trim additionally protects the corners. The concealed metal brackets of the opening allow quick, wide opening and additionally stabilize the toilet bag. Inside, it is lined with soft, natural-colored sheepskin, which is also used for the two slip pockets incorporated into the sides. The extremely robust, wide zipper - also rare in toilet bags - comes from Italy, from a company that otherwise manufactures components for military and geological equipment manufacturers. Polished teeth ensure that it is very smooth.

The “Fine leather goods factory” Franz Hammann based in Offenbach (one of the German centres of leather goods manufacturing) is one of the oldest leather manufacturers in Germany. The family-owned company has been producing high-quality leather goods and travel accessories for five generations. The Hessian leather goods are as sophisticated as they are durable; some models require the use of old special machines. Hammann has decades-old experience in leather crafts, especially in producing leather bags and cases complete with frames and handles. Precise workmanship and high-quality materials play an even more significant role here than in leather crafts anyway. To ensure the quality of its leather products, Hammann produces at its headquarters (and has done so since 1864) while processing exclusively full-grain leather of European origin. Locks and fittings are made in Germany. Here too, the details make the difference: all locks and fittings are milled from solid brass and alloy steel and get polished by hand. You might recognize the mirror-bright surfaces featuring a shine that “drum-polished sheet metal parts” could never give off.
