Natural Leather Variation

Tone, texture, and natural marks can vary from hide to hide. With use, the leather can soften, darken, and take on shine.

Final inspection

Every Piece Is Inspected

Before a Legacy bag leaves Picada Café, its stitching and finish are inspected. The Legacy Backpack is also individually numbered and hand-signed.

If it carries the Nordweg name, a person in the workshop has inspected it and stands behind the work.
