Our leather comes from LWG-audited tanneries, and every sling bag is hand-stitched and finished at our Delhi workshop. The croco emboss is registered into the leather panel during finishing — the scale geometry is uniform across the front and back faces, the panels matched by hand. The adjustable shoulder strap uses bonded-leather construction at the connection points (where the strap meets the body) for shear strength, then stitched leather across the wearing length. The Nib emblem is debossed during finishing, and the lining is stitched not glued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #1e0d02;\"\u003eThe sling ships with silver-toned hardware throughout — strap connectors, zip pulls, and the cast Nib emblem are solid zinc alloy with industrial-grade plating. Colour: classic black.
