Product description

But what is the story behind this product?
DOA COLLECTION - High quality products with more than one good purpose.

"The name DOA is clearly connected to the people who taught me the values of responsibility, commitment, steadfastness and the principle of "give and take" in life. My mother Dorothea, my grandpa Oskar and my grandma Annelotte." - Tim Beier, CEO Bearpaw Products & Founder DOA Foundation. Starting in 2019 with small steps, the DOA Foundation will take a big step in 2020 - together with Buckle & Seam. Of the total revenue generated by the DOA Collection, 3% will go directly to the DOA Foundation's donation account. The DOA Foundation will use these donations for various activities, thus trying to make the world a better place for children/young people and students. But this is not the only part that creates something good. Through the partnership between BEARPAW and Buckle and Seam alone, 3% of the revenue generated by Buckle and Seam has also already gone to the girls' school in Karachi.

Why does the product have this exact name?
Annelotte is the grandmother of Tim. As a mother of three children and the wife of an entrepreneur at the time, she knows what it means to build something and lose something. Annelotte and her husband Oskar built up the company from zero to one hundred together shortly after the Second World War. Towards the end of the 70s, however, the company went bankrupt. In such a difficult situation Annelotte always tried to be a strong rock in the surf for her husband and children. Her always very clear thoughts, her extreme solution orientation in any situation and the will to get the best out of everything were the forces that enabled her to overcome the deep valley at that time. With her strong empathy and as an absolute harmony person, she has managed to keep the family together.
After some time, she rebuilt her existence with a simple office job in the community and continued on. Later, as a grandmother of 5 grandchildren, Annelotte passed on the values of respect, appreciation and honesty to the next generation. That is why we, this incredibly strong and positive woman, dedicate our canvas backpack to her.

OUR PRODUCTS

PREMIUMCOWHIDE LEATHER

Every Buckle & Seam product is unique. Our collections for men are made by hand from leather in its highest quality form. This form is called "full grain" and means that the leather is processed in its full thickness. The result is a particularly robust end product that you can wear by your side for years to come. The way in which our models are made also ensures that each of them develops its own unique patina over the years. Just like you, your bag will only become more beautiful with age.

SHOPPINGWITH A GOOD CONSCIENCE

Buckle & Seam stands for transparent corporate policy. It is important to us not to be one of those companies that have their goods produced cheaply in distant countries without paying attention to people or the environment. That is why we regularly check the working conditions under which our producers work at the production site in Pakistan and pay them almost three times what they would normally earn in their region. We want equal opportunities.

FAQ

Leather products

How can I care for the leather?

Your new leather bag doesn't need any special care at first. The natural oils and waxes that are worked into our leather after the tanning process provide sufficient protection and make the leather supple. To ensure that you can enjoy your Buckle & Seam product for as long as possible, we recommend treating the leather once a year with our leather care product. If you see rough and dry patches on the leather, then leather care is urgently required.

Why is the leather so special?

Our bags are made from premium cowhide. It is carefully selected and processed by experienced craftsmen. We chose cowhide because it meets our high standards of quality, durability and naturalness. It is both strong and supple, making it an excellent raw material for the manufacture of our high-quality products. We use leather in its most natural form - full-grain. This means that the leather is processed with all its layers in its full thickness. This averages 1.7 mm and is therefore thicker than the material used for most leather bags. It is characterized by its great resilience and naturalness. The hides used come from animals in the north of Pakistan.

Can I remove scratches from my bag?

You will quickly notice that it is possible to remove minor scratches by rubbing your finger or a cloth over the scratch. If you discover deeper scratches, we recommend spreading our color-neutral beeswax on the bag with a soft cloth. This will make the scratch disappear and protect your bag for future adventures.

The leather on my bag is lighter in color than shown on the website.

As leather is a natural product, all pieces of leather differ from one another and can have different color tones by nature. In addition, leather changes due to external influences. Exposure to a lot of sunlight dries out the leather and makes it lighter in color. Here we recommend our leather care products, which make the leather darker and more supple again.

Why does the color of my bag change?

Leather acquires a unique patina with frequent wear, which makes the leather darker. However, it can happen that your bag dries out over time, which you can recognize by the fact that the leather becomes rougher and lighter. In this case, we recommend our leather care product, which you can use to give your bag a new shine.
