Lucky Hobo Jérôme Dreyfuss Black Bag – Vegetable-Tanned Buffalo Leather
The Lucky Hobo Jérôme Dreyfuss bag in black brass buffalo leather embodies timeless, understated sophistication. Its supple baguette-inspired hobo silhouette naturally follows the body, while the house’s signature metal rivets highlight its distinctive identity.
Crafted from Italian vegetable-tanned buffalo leather, this material is processed using natural tannins extracted from wood, leaves, and bark. This traditional tanning method replaces chrome salts and synthetic agents, resulting in a more environmentally respectful process.
The leather is finished with a refined aniline treatment, creating a deep yet transparent black tone that preserves the natural grain. As a living material, vegetable-tanned leather develops a unique patina over time, evolving in texture and shade with wear. Each piece becomes progressively more personal and distinctive.
The European tanneries involved share a commitment to quality, traceability, and responsible production standards. This model is also made from LWG-certified leather (Leather Working Group), ensuring controlled water and energy consumption, strict waste management, and monitored social standards throughout the supply chain.
Versatile by design, the Lucky Hobo can be worn over the shoulder for everyday elegance, carried by hand for a structured city look, or styled crossbody for ease and movement. Its refined construction and noble leather make it a long-term wardrobe essential.
Care Instructions
Vegetable-tanned leather is a natural material that requires attentive care.
During initial use, it is recommended to pair the bag with darker garments to prevent potential color transfer. Conversely, poorly fixed dyes from clothing may transfer onto the leather.
Regularly apply a non-greasy, silicone-free nourishing cream, previously tested on an inside or discreet area, to maintain suppleness and depth of color.
Avoid exposure to heat sources, abrasive surfaces, and prolonged contact with water. Humidity may intensify pigment migration. Extended exposure to sunlight or strong artificial light can subtly alter the shade over time.
Although durable, leather can tear if snagged; avoid sharp edges or pulling tension.
