FAQ
1. What makes SUDO Zurich leather bags unique?
Each SUDO Zurich bag is thoughtfully crafted with meticulous attention to detail. We work exclusively with supple calfskin and use a traditional garment-dyeing and washing process that gives each piece its own soul. Handmade by artisans in Tuscany, our bags develop a rich patina over time — a companion with enduring character.
2. Are your bags made from real leather?
Yes. All of our bags are made from 100% genuine leather. We source high-quality calfskin known for its natural softness, resilience, and lasting beauty. Our leather is tanned using plant-based tannins and processed with care to ensure both quality and sustainability.
3. How should I care for my SUDO Zurich leather bag?
To preserve the beauty of your bag, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or moisture. Clean it gently with a soft cloth and apply a leather conditioner occasionally. When not in use, store it in a dry place — ideally inside the SUDO Zurich dust bag included with your purchase.
4. What is the difference between vintage-effect leather and regular leather?
Our vintage-effect leather is garment-dyed and washed, giving each bag its own unique tone and texture. We use natural tannins to achieve rich, earthy hues, while the finish is completed by hand — waxed and ironed by artisans to enhance softness and reveal the leather’s natural glow. Unlike regular leather, each piece evolves beautifully over time.
