Paloma — Hand-Tooled Cowhide Clutch
Paloma is a hand-tooled cowhide clutch, its front panel carved with tooling details set against a hair-on cowhide body, closing along the top with a zip.
Every Paloma is cut from a single cowhide, so the hide markings around the tooled panel are entirely its own — a feature of genuine cowhide, never a flaw, and the reason no two clutches in this range are ever quite the same.

The Clutch
Built to do more
Our clutches start as genuine leather, chosen for construction built to outlast a single night out rather than just survive it. It's the kind of piece that moves easily from an evening bag to something you'd reach for on a normal day.
A detachable wrist strap lets Paloma move between a hand-held clutch and a wrist-carried pouch, and inside, a zipper pocket and credit card slots keep everything sorted. The tooling runs across the whole front panel rather than a single motif, giving Paloma a fuller, more considered look than a plain cowhide clutch.
Aftercare
Keep it looking this good
Leather ages best with a little attention. Keep pieces away from direct heat and prolonged sun, wipe spills promptly with a dry cloth, and condition every few months with a leather-safe balm to stop it drying out. Store stuffed with tissue to hold its shape when not in use.

Leather that's built to age well
Every piece in the Cuerava edit is chosen for genuine leather and construction that holds up — not fast fashion, not disposable. We pick pieces we’d carry ourselves, then let the leather do the rest: it darkens, softens, and gets better with use.
