Products

Our full grain calfskin leather is a raw, supple, high quality material. A thin layer of aniline, which guarantees suppleness and authenticity, protects it. If you want to, you can waterproof your leather bags to provide them with increased protection from external elements. In this case, we recommend that you ask a specialist shoemaker, who will advise you on the use of the most suitable products. However, this step isn't essential, as the quality of leather resides essentially in the particularity of its natural wear and evolution by your side over time. These variations in colour and texture will give it a charm highly appreciated by connoisseurs.

Lancaster produces some of its goods in France and has remained faithful and sensitive to the tradition of the country's leather working industry, which has become increasingly rare. However, it has also opened up to production abroad for some of its ranges. Our specifications as well as our quality assurance follow strict and set standards that do not vary according to the manufacturing location. In the interest of equity, we of course use the same quality raw materials regardless of the manufacturing location of our leather goods.
