How does it close and carry?

A signature turn-lock flap closure, a short top handle and an adjustable detachable crossbody strap.

What material is the Small Leather Handbag made from?

The Small Leather Handbag is crafted from full-grain leather — one of the finest and most durable leathers available, known for retaining the natural surface of the hide. Full-grain leather develops a rich, distinctive patina over time, becoming more characterful with every use. The interior is lined with sustainably sourced recycled fabric, and the flap interior is finished in soft suede for a refined, considered feel. All hardware is precision-finished in silver for a polished, cohesive finish throughout.

How can the Small Leather Handbag be carried?

The Small Leather Handbag offers two carry options to suit any occasion. The short leather top handle allows for a classic handheld carry, sitting comfortably in the hand or over the wrist. For hands-free wear, the adjustable detachable crossbody leather strap — fitted with J&H branded swivel clasps — connects to silver hardware on either side of the bag and can be adjusted to your preferred length. Switching between the two is quick and easy, making this bag as versatile as it is stylish.

How should I care for the Small Leather Handbag?

To keep your Small Leather Handbag in the best possible condition, we recommend regularly applying a high-quality leather conditioner to nourish and protect the hide. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, which can dry out and damage full-grain leather over time. If the bag gets wet, allow it to dry naturally away from any heat source. Store it in the dust bag provided when not in use to prevent scratching and help the bag retain its shape. With the right care, your Small Leather Handbag will age beautifully and last for many years.

Does the Small Leather Handbag offer RFID protection?

Yes — the Small Leather Handbag features an RFID-secure interior zip pocket. This provides a reliable electromagnetic shield that blocks unauthorised scanning of your contactless bank cards, credit cards, and ID documents. RFID-enabled devices can read card data from a distance of up to several metres, making RFID protection an important feature for daily use in crowded environments such as airports, public transport, and busy urban areas. The RFID pocket in your Small Leather Handbag works silently and requires no activation — your cards are always protected.

EXTERIOR

FULL GRAIN LEATHER

Full-grain leather is the gold standard, because it remains untouched by sanding, shaving, or splitting, it retains the hide’s original strength and character.

At Jekyll & Hide, we favour this uncompromising material because it doesn’t just last; it matures. Every mark and natural variation tells a story, developing a rich patina that makes every piece uniquely yours.
