The Hard Graft 'Coal' Leather Series is Relaxed and Ready to Wear
Charlotte Joyce Kidd — October 30, 2015 — Fashion
This 'Coal' worn-in leather series from Hard Graft gives upscale leather products a relaxed, wearable feel.
Hard Graft is known for its beautiful, high quality leather bags and accessories, but the Coal collection takes it to the next level. The deep black worn-in leather looks so soft and supple that you almost want a pair of pajamas made out of it. The collection contains several varieties of bag, a sophisticated folio, a wallet and a smartphone case. The Coal black leather finish involves a vegetable-based tanning process, and then a rich waxing and dying to give it a deep, silky luster.
Hard Graft is a leather goods brand that provides the impression not only of luxury, but also of small-scale artisan craftsmanship. Its worn-in leather pieces are at once unique and classic.
