The first bags were inspired by the leather of a baseball glove, which gets softer and more beautiful over time. From 1962 the designer Bonnie Cashin shaped the brand with practical details such as turn-lock closures and outside pockets. Vintage bags in sturdy, smooth leather, often still made in the USA, are in demand again today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlove-tanned leather\u003c\/strong\u003e is strong, smooth cowhide that develops a beautiful patina over time. \u003cstrong\u003ePebbled leather\u003c\/strong\u003e is grained and resistant to scratches.
