Salome — Hand-Tooled Cowhide Phone Bag
Salome is a compact, vertical cowhide phone bag, its front panel genuine premium hair-on cowhide hand-tooled with carved detailing and finished with hand-weaving along the sides. The back panel is finished in plain leather with its own zip, and the whole piece closes with a magnetic clasp.
Every Salome is cut and finished from a single hide, so the tooling plays against markings entirely its own — a feature of genuine cowhide, never a flaw, and the reason no two bags in this range are ever quite the same.

The Bag
Built to carry it all
Every bag in the range is genuine leather first, chosen as much for how it carries as for how it looks. We'd rather stock fewer bags done properly than a wide range done indifferently.
A shoulder strap, both detachable and adjustable, plus a separate detachable leather tassel let Salome be styled to taste, while card slots inside keep the essentials organised alongside a phone and a few small items. Sized for exactly what it's named for, Salome is built to carry a phone and the bare essentials — nothing more — for the days that call for the smallest possible bag.
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.

The craft
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.
