Our workshop
Meet our workshop in Restrepo, Bogotá
Sabana Leather sells Colombian leather goods direct from Bogotá. Our bags are made by hand in a small workshop in Restrepo, the city's leather district, starting with our flagship, the Sabana Crossbody. You buy straight from the people who make them, with no wholesaler or shop in between, and they repair our bags for life.
Made in Bogotá's leather district
Restrepo is Bogotá's leather district: a working neighborhood in the south of the city where small workshops cut, stitch and sell leather, street after street. It's where our bags are made. Not designed here and made somewhere else. Made here, by people who have spent their working lives with leather.
Leather that gets better with age
Our flagship, the Sabana Crossbody, is cut from full-grain vegetable-tanned cowhide, 1.6–1.8 mm thick. Full-grain keeps the hide's whole outer surface, so you see real grain, not a printed pattern. Vegetable tanning gives it a warm, earthy smell. Carry it and it darkens, softens and builds a patina that is yours alone. It's unlined, so it's leather inside and out, and the hardware is solid brass.
Made by hand, by people you can name
Each bag is cut, assembled and finished by hand at the bench, one at a time, the slow way. No production line, no shortcuts: just people who know leather, making things that last.
Buy it once. We'll repair it for life.
If a seam, strap or piece of hardware on your bag ever gives, send it home. Contact us with a photo and your order number and we'll arrange the rest. The workshop that made it repairs it, for life.
