We hand source secondary industry leather, hide & shearling whenever possible. Our materials are mostly dead-stock from the fashion & agriculture industry. In today’s climate, we think it is important to re-purpose and re-use, for this reason we can offer only limited edition smaller runs.

All of our pieces are hand made. Each pocket is sourced, trimmed, dyed and stitched by hand. Their individuality means they may vary slightly in shape, size or tone. This is what makes Bichon pockets unique. No two are the same.

CARE

Shearling
Shearling has some stain resistance, it can be used in the rain but the texture may change over time. Some shearlings are more light sensitive that others and may change colour with repeated sun exposure. If cleaning is necessary, spot clean with a damp towel or take to a professional cleaner.

Leather
Our black leather is treated and can withstand rain and day to day use. If you wish, you can apply a protective leather spray. Never submerge leather in water, spot clean with a damp towel if necessary.

Suede

Ideally, you should always assure that suede remains dry. If you notice a wet mark, blot it immediately with a cloth to absorb moisture and apply cornstarch or talcum powder. For small stains, gently brush with the grain using a suede brush, then brush against the grain to restore texture. A clean toothbrush or rubber can work if you don’t have a suede brush. 

If your handbag gets damp, dab the marks with a cloth and fill it with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain its shape. Allow the bag to air dry at room temperature. Once dry, brush it gently to realign the fibres.
