Raw. Exposed. Unapologetic. Hand-crafted in Chicago, The Wells is a tribute to the legendary Horween Chromexcel. Designed as a spacious "bucket" briefcase, it strips away the layers to get you closer to the hide. With no internal lining or dividers, it offers a more casual, rugged silhouette that stands upright while maintaining a supple, broken-in feel.

Inside, you’ll find the stained and finished "rough-out" side of the leather—a deep Color 8 finish that matches the exterior and showcases the natural character of the hide.

A Note on Character: Horween Chromexcel is a waxy, "pull-up" leather designed to tell a story. It will dent, scuff, and scratch with ease, quickly developing a beautifully worn, high-character look unique to your journey. This is not a defect—it is the hallmark of the world's most famous heritage leather.
