The Artisan Grade Difference - Premium Craftsmanship Details
Every Kelly-inspired bag begins with ethically sourced Italian Togo leather, selected for its distinctive pebbled texture and durability against Colorado’s elements. Our artisans employ traditional saddle-stitching techniques – each bag requiring 18+ hours of hand-stitching for unparalleled strength. Hardware undergoes triple-plating processes achieving authentic weight and lustrous finish that withstands daily Denver life.
Inside, you’ll find supple suede lining with precisely placed pockets sized for modern essentials. Each piece undergoes our rigorous 23-point inspection, examining stitch density (12 stitches per inch), hardware alignment (within 0.5mm tolerance), and leather consistency. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our bags develop character over time – the Togo leather softening while maintaining structure, the hardware developing a warm patina.
We stand behind our craftsmanship with a 12-month warranty covering construction defects. For Colorado clients, we offer complimentary leather conditioning services twice yearly to maintain your bag’s beauty through mountain winters and high-altitude sunshine. Each piece arrives in a premium dust bag with care instructions tailored for Denver’s unique climate.
