Inspiring Women
The pieces in our new Lavendon Collection were all named after inspiring women, and it is perhaps no surprise to know that the George tote is inspired by George Eliot. That was not her real name, of course, just one that helped her femininity not be a barrier to her success as an author. It was a creative solution to a problem that would take more than one strong woman to solve, but to which she certainly contributed. Throughout her life, she successfully navigated many restrictive social conventions.
The Leathers
As with all our bags, the George is hand-crafted, from the first cut to the last stitch, at Tusting HQ in the heart of the English countryside. We use only premium, full-grain leathers, all of which come from tanneries which are fully audited and gold-standard certified by the Leather Working Group (a global, leather industry watchdog) for their minimal environmental impact, full traceability and the sustainability of their operating practices. We also source our leathers from as close to home as possible, with the vast majority being British or European.
The leather used for the George is our Atlantic leather. With a softly polished finish, this leather allows the natural beauty and richness of the hide to show. A strong, yet soft and flexible bovine leather, Atlantic is perfect for handbags, as it is light, durable and yet beautifully natural, allowing it to develop a rich patina over time. As one of our most luxurious designs, the George is also lined in natural, full-grain leather, giving the user the ultimate in timeless luxury.
The all-leather colourway is complemented by two stylishly contrasting versions featuring body panels in soft-touch Italian linen canvas in cream with a woven-in black or tan thread detail.
Bespoke & Personalisation
All Tusting bags are hand-crafted in our Lavendon workshop and by special order, we can make your bag even more unique by personalising it, or we can create a bespoke colourway from our set of leathers. So whether it is a personalised message inside the bag, embossed initials or a special colour combination, don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your ideas.
