Durability and longevity: A handbag that lasts for years
One of the standout benefits of a high-quality leather handbag is its longevity. Unlike synthetic materials that crack or fray, full-grain and top-grain leathers are built to withstand daily wear while developing a beautiful patina over time. With proper care, a leather bag can last for decades—making it a cost-effective choice in the long run. The Olivia & Co team has tested many types of leather. Our collection mainly uses three main types: saffiano, full-grain pebbled, and smooth calf-skin. These have been carefully selected for their strength, good looks and natural character. From hand-stitched detailing to reinforced handles, Olivia & Co leather handbags are made to be used and loved every day. We also offer bags in vegan leather, to give our fans a variety of choices.
Versatility: The perfect bag for every occasion
Quality leather oozes a quiet confidence and fits in wherever you go. A premium leather handbag can be dressed up or down; taken to the office, carried around on weekends away, and brought to evening events. Whether you're travelling light or packing for the day, there’s an Olivia & Co leather handbag to suit the moment. Some of our most versatile and useful bags are:

A sustainable fashion choice
Fast fashion may offer instant gratification, but it comes at a high environmental cost. Spending a little extra on a durable, well-made leather handbag supports a more sustainable, ‘buy it once, use it forever’ mindset. Leather, especially when ethically sourced and responsibly produced, is a long-lasting material that reduces the need for frequent replacements, so you’ll get great value from your investment.
