Black Washed, Worn-In From Day One
Black Washed skips the years it normally takes leather to look lived-in. The distressed, textured finish is built into the hide from the start, so this luggage tag already looks like it's been somewhere before its first trip.
Built to Stay Attached Through a Real Trip
A leather buckle strap threads through a handle or strap and snaps shut, holding the tag in place through gate changes, baggage claim, and general handling. The ID window keeps a name or number legible without exposing it to smudging or rain.
Hand-Cut, Hand-Burnished
Full-grain leather is cut and stitched by hand, with the edges burnished smooth. The washed finish shows more visible texture and tonal variation than our standard black, which is the intended look rather than a flaw.
For a Rugged Look Without the Wait
Black Washed suits someone who wants a bag tag that already looks broken in. Personalization is available on request at no extra cost: initials or a short message, hot- or foil-stamped near the strap before it ships.

We use carefully selected full-grain leather and premium materials chosen for durability, character, and everyday performance. Because genuine leather is a natural material, each piece has its own unique grain and develops a rich patina over time, making it even more distinctive with use.

It goes through an extra distressing process that gives the leather a worn, textured look from day one, with visible lighter patches and grain variation that regular black doesn't have. If you'd rather have a smooth, uniform black, our standard Black tag is the better match.
It measures 4.5" x 2.5", sized to read clearly on a baggage carousel without adding bulk. The buckle strap fits standard suitcase handles, duffel straps, and backpack loops without needing to be stretched or forced.
The washed texture is set into the leather during finishing, so regular travel use won't strip it away. If anything, it becomes more pronounced with handling, while the buckle strap itself holds up the same way it does on our smooth-finish tags.
Most travelers use a name and phone number rather than a full home address, since a lost bag doesn't need to broadcast where you live to whoever finds it first. The window keeps whatever you write protected from smudging and rain.
Yes, at no extra cost, just request it when you order. Initials or a short message are hot- or foil-stamped in gold, silver, black, or white, up to 120 characters, adding one to two business days to dispatch.
Handmade in Turkey, cut and stitched by hand from full-grain leather before it goes through the distressing finish, the same process used across our other travel leather goods.
