Bélvèdere Overnight Bag, Available in 3 Colours
Inspired by an era of touring cars and luxury boutique hotels. Imagine a time when driving your Aston Martin DB7 or Jaguar E-type over the Furka Pass in the Swiss Alps, stopping for an evening at the iconic Belvédère Hotel, and grabbing your exquisitely handcrafted leather overnight bag as you head inside.
The Belvédère may be shuttered, and cars like the DB7 and E-type are less likely to be driven such distances, but owning a finely crafted leather bag that stands the test of time is still possible.
Crafted to order from heavyweight Italian vegetable tanned leather and hand stitched using traditional saddle stitching and linen thread, this bag revives a time when craftsmanship and attention to detail wasn’t such a rarity. Inside you will find it lined with a luxurious herringbone linen/cotton canvas, and zippered internal pocket in suede to gently cradle your smaller items. Combined they result in a heritage quality piece of luggage, built to last a lifetime and look fantastic doing so.

Process: Bone and Blade products are hand stitched using a heritage technique known as saddle stitching. This technique was originally used by Saddle Makers to create a durable, long-lasting join that wouldn’t unravel, even under the harshest working conditions. Developed before the Industrial Revolution, the technique of saddle stitching remains the same today, a single thread with a needle at each end is woven through a line of handmade holes crossing back and forth in a figure of eight motion. This strong construction means that should a stitch break, the thread on the opposite side continues to hold the piece together.
Care: Use it, love it, but please avoid getting your bag soaking wet or leaving it near a heat source. Over time each Overnight Bag will patina in a way unique to its owner. This Italian vegetable tanned leather will soften and break in, darken with exposure to sun and patina with the oils from the skin, making each one truly one of a kind. Should the leather start to look dry use a quality leather balm and buff with a soft cloth.
