Materials & Craft

At Small Hours, every piece is designed and handmade in Toronto in small batches.

We work with smooth Spanish leather in a classic box-calf style, a traditional finish known for its fine, tight grain and rich, vibrant colour. It's a structured, substantial leather (3.0–3.5 oz weight) that balances durability with a refined appearance, chosen for both its character and its longevity.

We also work with Italian vegetable-tanned leather, a traditional, slow-tanned leather known for its natural finish and rich patina it develops over time. Each piece begins with a clean, neutral hide and ages into something uniquely yours.

Hardware is solid brass, paired with YKK zippers, the industry standard for quality and longevity. Edges are finished with a clear coat by hand for a clean finish that holds up to daily use.

Complimentary personalization is available on most styles, foil-stamped by hand in our studio. Each piece is finished with care and built to be carried for years.
