FAQs
Are Von Baer bags made from full-grain leather?
Yes - every Von Baer bag is crafted from full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, the highest grade available. We use Cuoio Superiore leather, a protected Tuscan designation that guarantees traceability, ethical sourcing, and exceptional durability.
Each bag includes certified documentation of leather origin, so you know exactly where and how your leather was produced.
If you're new to leather grades and terminology, this introduction may be useful: this guide
Will the bag keep its shape over time?
It will - and age beautifully while doing so.
Our bags are designed with reinforced panels, structured bases, and protective metal feet to prevent sagging and distortion. The leather softens gradually, developing character without losing integrity.
This is leather that matures - not leather that collapses.

How Is Von Baer Leather Different?
Not all leather is the same.
Since 2015, we at Von Baer have dedicated ourselves to high-quality real leather.
Here's a 30-second summary of how to choose a better leather product:
- Leather comes in different grades: full-grain, top-grain, and split/bonded - which represent how much of the original product is used (less product used = cheaper).
- Full-grain is the best grade of leather you can buy: exceptionally durable, developing an elegant patina, and having that beautiful real leather smell.
- Cheaper grades are less durable, age poorly, and don't have that authentic scent.
- Leather is processed through "tanning", which makes it durable and water-resistant.
- The two main methods for this are "vegetable-tanning" and "chrome-tanning".
- Chrome tanning uses harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and produce a worse quality leather.
- Vegetable tanning is the best method, being more eco-friendly, and producing leather with a better patina and scent.
That's why here at Von Baer, we only use full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, sourced from the finest tanneries across Tuscany, Italy.
It ages beautifully over time, developing a unique patina, making it more durable and luxurious than lower-quality leather.
It's also why we developed the leather standards trademark Cuoio Superiore (meaning "superior leather" in Italian).
