Chic Black Bison Large Clutch
Our signature clutches feature an origami inspired construction. One continuous piece of leather makes up the body of the clutch. The clutch is folded onto itself and joined with riveted leather spines, reinforcing the construction. The spines are capped with a small D- ring on each side to attach a clutch strap or purse strap.
The locking hardware features a twist lock that is easy to find without needing to look at the bag. The hardware is surface mounted allowing for easy repair in case you run over your purse with your car.
Everything about our signature bags is designed to be tough and elegant in their simplicity. Just like the belts we started with in 2004, we focus on utilitarian design for longevity.
Special notes for Bison clutches:
Our American Bison leather clutches feature a vintage metallic snakeskin lining leather. Once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. The bison leather of these clutches is butter soft and one of the most luxurious leathers in both feel and appearance that we’ve ever found.

Handbag life and care instructions:
Leather gets slightly wet - Wipe off with clean cloth.
Leather gets soaking wet - Do not wear while wet. Lay flat to dry. Do not apply heat.
Leather gets dirty - Use a lightly damp soft cloth to wipe away dirt. Let air dry.
Handbag repair:
Should anything befall your handbag, email us with photos and a description of the issue. Nearly anything besides cut leather can be repaired.
Suede:
Made of imported embossed Italian suede. Suede is a very delicate and beautiful form of leather that is susceptible to water, dirt, oils, etc. We suggest applying a suede protective spray when first receiving your handbag.
Bison:
Made of American Bison and tanned in Kentucky. Little is needed to protect this leather. If you would like to use a product we suggest a leather protective balm.
Graphic:
Natural Veg Tan leather (100% Genuine leather) from Brazil and Pennsylvania with images embedded in the leather in my shop in Washington, DC.
Veg Tan leather is a very natural form of leather, created by using tannins from vegetable matter such as the bark from trees.
What to expect:
Graphic images are embedded IN the leather using our super secret process. The leather is protected with three coatings of our proprietary sealant making it scratch and water resistant. Think of it like a tattoo in leather.
