About our products

More than skin deep

So why are our products so special? Innovative design, inspired colour palettes and the finest soft nappa leathers are crucial to our success. Hold one of our purses, wallets or bags in your hands and you know it’s something you can’t live without. But the beauty of our products really is more than skin deep.

The production and manufacturing of our products is done in Thailand. The people we work with are friends rather than suppliers. Our longest supplier relationship started 27 years ago and we’ve known some individuals in that company for over 20 years. That level of personal knowledge and understanding is fundamental to the way we work and to achieving the very best results together.

During the production process we demand the very best from everyone – and everything – involved. But what do we mean by ‘everything’? Well, for a start, all leather is certainly not created equal and we’re obsessive about creating the very best. Our hides come from Japan, where we know we’re more confident of a better selection and quality. They are then tanned using German chemicals, renowned throughout the industry as being of the highest quality.

When it comes to dyeing, just think back 20 or even 10 years. Leather producers were a conservative bunch, usually tanning in black, brown, tan and, if you were lucky, burgundy. Because there were just four colours, manufacturers were able to dye in large drums. Today at Mywalit we currently work with 36 colours of leather and our progressive tannery uses much smaller drums, which allows us to monitor tanning quality and colour consistency with much more precision.

Once the skins are tanned and dyed, we invest time and effort to create the highest quality products. During the cutting process various sections of leather are created that are then carefully assembled during the construction of the product. A perfect ‘edge’ is crucial to this. Our ‘skiving’ process shaves each leather section to deliver a fine, clean edge that is then folded and double stitched, rather than single stitched. All the pieces are then put together and the wallets are assembled and stitched by one person, usually specializing in that particular design. The final product speaks for itself.
