Best-Sellers
A better bag for a better world. We craft premium leather bags that provide dignified employment and uplift women out of exploitation using sustainably sourced materials and generations of expert artisanal knowledge. Our best-sellers showcase our customersā favorites, highlighting different features, styles, sizes, and colors weāre proud to call our own ā and you will be, too.
What is premium full-grain leather?
Our leather is ethically sourced from ranches close to our factory in Ethiopia. All of our leather is full-grain leather, located at the top of the hide and known to be the highest quality portion of the leather. You can see the natural peaks and valleys of the material with the naked eye, reflecting the natural dyes, finishes, and age of the leather, which is meant to get better with age. The texture of full-grain leather is also naturally water-resistant and extremely durable while maintaining a supple, soft-to-the-touch feel.
Why choose a premium leather item?
Weāre passionate about sustainability and economic empowerment ā something that not every brand can blend together into one mission. Many faux-leather materials are made with plastics and other materials that unfortunately contribute to pollution. Other brands attempt to offset the impacts of fast fashion by donating to sustainable causes.
We think we can do more. At Parker Clay, our mission is a little different: each item is meant to last a lifetime, and our premium leather goods are covered by a lifetime repair & refurbishment guarantee. If weāre doing our jobs right, youāll only buy one of everything!
Our bestsellers include vibrant, fashion-forward bags like the Nyala Foldover Clutch in Jade featuring a repurposed European brass ring closure, perfect for a night out on the town. Thereās the San Ysidro Weekender Bag, featuring a spacious inner compartment, zipped pockets, a removable and adjustable shoulder strap, a trolley sleeve, and more. Keep things simple with the Bale Crossbody Bag with a zip closure, exterior pockets, and a comfortable sling design for comfortable all-day wear no matter where the day takes you.
Can I customize my Parker Clay item?
Since we know your purchase is meant to last a lifetime, we believe in making your Parker Clay purchase yours. You can shop by our naturally-dyed colors to choose your favorite, add additional accessories like crossbody straps and luggage tags to make the look your own, or personalize your item with up to 3 monogrammed letters in traditional heat-stamped or elegant gold foil styles.
Our items are designed for everyday use while also becoming important heirlooms, statement pieces, and favorite must-haves in your wardrobe. Any questions for us we havenāt covered here? Feel free to visit us at our flagship Santa Barbara, California, store or reach out online!
