Our recycled leather comes from GRS-audited supply chains, and every messenger is hand-stitched and finished at our Delhi workshop. GRS (Global Recycled Standard) verifies the chain of custody, the recycled content percentage, and the environmental, social, and chemical management at every stage. The magnetic flap mechanism uses high-grade neodymium magnets seated between two leather panels. The internal tablet sleeve is padded with closed-cell foam between the recycled leather and a soft felt lining. The Nib emblem is debossed during finishing, and the lining is stitched not glued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #1e0d02;\"\u003eThe bag ships with silver-toned hardware throughout — magnetic flap mechanism, shoulder-strap connectors, zip pulls, and the cast Nib emblem are solid zinc alloy with industrial-grade plating.
