Tusk Leather Selection

Whether you are searching for your next handbag, wallet, or another leather-based accessory, you are likely stuck with this question: “which type of leather should I choose?” At Tusk, we have carefully designed each of our pieces to be perfect for a variety of lifestyles. Follow this guide of our different collections and let us decide which is the best for you. 

Today, our accessories are made up of Buffaloskins, Calfskins, Goatskins, Lambskins, and Sheepskins found throughout the world. With slight differences in durability, softness, weight, and thickness existing between each of them, it is thorough examination and testing that we determine which one we will use for each collection. 

The Madison Collection

With a top finish which lends itself to vivid colors and gives the leather a mirror like finish, this collection embraces our way of balancing beauty and function. Trendy and modern in its appearance yet still highly durable, this collection is perfect to accompany you in your day to day life.

Our Siam Collection features a Glazed Italian Kidskin sustainably crafted from vegetable tanned goatskin. Receiving a beautiful depth of color from this eco-friendly process, this collection is highlighted for its beauty. Additionally, this gorgeous collection does not come at the cost of quality and functionality. With Goat Skin being more durable than cowhide and also more supple and soft due to the lanolin in the leather, this collection can flawlessly match the vibrancy of your lifestyle. 

Kent Collection

The Kent collection features a fine French Calfskin. Particularly soft with a smooth, fine grain, this leather's unique form comes from the distinct farming techniques used in France. Such is why France is so famous for its calfskin leather.Durable, long-lasting and a testament to high quality, this vegetable tanned leather is also sustainable and eco friendly. Finishing with a hand staining process that elegantly forms subtle tonal variations and a deep luster in the leather, the Kent Collection is great for your profession or a night out.
