The Artisan Grade Difference - Premium Craftsmanship Details
Every Constance-inspired piece begins with full-grain Italian Epsom leather, selected for its distinctive pebbled texture and durability in Florida’s climate. Unlike synthetic alternatives, our leather develops a luminous patina over time.
Observe the precision of our saddle stitching – each bag requires 18+ hours of hand-stitching using waxed linen thread. This traditional technique creates flexible seams that withstand Jacksonville’s humidity without cracking.
Our hardware features solid brass with either 18K gold plating or palladium coating, weighing approximately 220g to recreate the luxurious feel. The iconic H-clasp mechanism produces a satisfying magnetic click, engineered for 10,000+ openings.
Inside, you’ll find buttery suede lining with matching tonal stitching and three functional compartments. Each bag includes a felt storage bag and humidity control card to maintain integrity during Jacksonville summers.
Before shipment, every piece undergoes our 23-point quality inspection, including hardware function tests, leather consistency checks, and structural integrity verification. We stand behind our craftsmanship with a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
