The bag that started it all. 

Years ago, I spent some time in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  A beautiful city with a well-deserved reputation fine red wine, delicious red meat, high quality leather and the best polo in the World.   The San Telmo Sunday Market quickly became one of my favorite places in Buenos Aires.  Craftsmen from far and wide gather there each weekend selling just about anything.  If you ever find yourself in Buenos Aires do yourself a favor and visit this market.

One Sunday as I was walking through the market, I came across a leather craftsman whose goods stood out even among a city and a market renowned for high quality leather.  That day I bought a weekender bag that became the benchmark upon which I judged all leather goods from that day forward. 

It was just the right size, not too big nor too small.  The design was simple and clean but rugged, stylish yet masculine.  The quality and feel of the leather was amazing, with a subtle pebbled texture overlaid and accented with a contrasting smooth oiled leather.   At the time I didn’t know enough about leather to know what pebbled leather or oiled leather were, but I innately recognized this bag, its craftsmanship and materials were a cut above any other leather bag I had ever seen or touched. 

I bought that bag that day and to this day I never fail to get a compliment on it whenever I travel through an airport. 

Fast forward to 2023 as we were starting Equestrian Noire, this bag was on my mind, and I promised myself I would design a weekender bag that lived up to bag I bought all those years ago in the San Telmo Sunday market. 

True to the original that inspired it, this weekender bag features high quality full grain leather with two subtly contrasting colors and textures.  The interior is lined with a rugged canvas and has an interior zipper pocket.

Neither too big nor too small, this bag is sized perfectly for a weekend getaway and perfect as a carry on.   We kept the design simple, clean and functional with a look that is going to be as stylish and relevant 20 years from now as it is today. 

We named this bag the Aiken Weekender, After Aiken, SC a small town famous for its concentration of horses and a hotbed of polo.  We often haul the horses from Atlanta to Aiken for a weekend of horses and polo.

WHY ARE YOUR BAGS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER LEATHER BAGS?

While our bags are more expensive than a lot of other lower quality leather and synthetic bags you may see for sale, our bags are very reasonably priced relative to other bags made to the highest standards of craftsmanship and made from leathers of comparable quality. 

In leather, as in life, you get what you pay for.  Many of these less expensive bags may look similar in a picture or online, but in person, touching and feeling the bags even someone with no knowledge of leather will quickly notice the difference in quality.

Our bags are crafted to literally last a lifetime and we back that up with a lifetime guarantee against material and craftsmanship
defects.  These other bags…good luck, they are fast fashion genuine leather (that’s not a good thing).  They look good initially and wear out
quickly.  Our bags are always crafted from full grain leather so they don’t wear out, they break in, which means they actually look better as they age.

WHAT IS FULL -GRAIN LEATHER

Here at Equestrian Noire we exclusively use full-grain leather in our bags. Full-grain isthe highest quality, most durable, luxurious and most expensive grade of leather.  Full-grain leather is called
full grain because it contains the full outer hide of the animal, because of this it is the strongest and longest lasting of leathers.  Other, less grades of leather have the topmost
layer of grain shaved down to create a more uniform appearance, but this comes
at a cost as the leather becomes much more prone to cracking and drying out and
the useful life of this leather is much shorter. 

WHERE ARE YOUR BAGS MADE?

All our
bags are designed in our home studio (but sometimes our kitchen table) right here in Atlanta, GA.  We proudly partner with creators and craftsmen and craftswomen wherever there exists a strong tradition of leatherworking.  Whether the Amish communities of the American Midwest or Leon, Mexico with its centuries’ old traditions of saddlery and leathermaking.  All we demand is an adherence to ethical values and a passion for leather and leather craftsmanship.
to ethical values and a love of leather craftsmanship.
