Epsom Leather: Forged in Heat

What is Epsom leather?

Originating from its namesake in Epsom, England in the 19th century, it was made popular in 2004 when Hermès introduced it in their bags & accessories. Unlike the natural grain of Togo and Swift leather, its textured finish comes from a heat-pressed embossing process that results in a fine, cross-hatched pattern. This results in a sturdier surface that resists scratches and wear and retains its appearance even after many years of use. Sorry patina lovers, you gotta look elsewhere.

Why Epsom leather?

Thanks to its unique embossing process, Epsom leather boasts a sturdy surface that resists scratches, wear, and patina. It retains its sleek appearance for years, often looking as fresh as the day you bought it. For those seeking a hassle-free yet elegant leather to elevate any outfit, Epsom is an easy top choice.
