FAQ
Yes, we only use natural leather from Nariño, Colombia, a region rich in nature with mild climates which produce the finest leather in Colombia. All of our products are made with full-grain leather, known to be the best quality, strongest and durable bovine leather and some of our signature carriel bags also include natural cowhide.
Yes, we only use natural cowhide and do not alter its natural designs, meaning that you will get a totally unique bag with an unrepeatable cowhide design.
Please note that we have classified our carriel bags into 7 different cowhide patterns – each individual bag will have similar colors, but its cowhide pattern might vary slightly from the photo.

- Clean with a dry cloth and leather cleaner.
- Use a dust bag to keep the leather intact and stuff the bag with soft items or an organizer for it to keep its shape.
- Store the bag in a dry place away from the sun (suggest to store it upright or flat- do not hang the bag as this will damage the handle and could misshape it).
- Avoid putting other objects on the top of your bag to prevent the leather from getting deformed.
Full-grain leather has a natural leather smell which is often described as musky, earthy or animalistic. This smell is caused by the natural oils and fats present in the hide.
Bomboná carriel bags weigh between 0.7- 0.8 kilos, so they are a lot lighter that the traditional Colombian carriel bags.
We have purposely adapted the design to be more versatile and have included 3 internal compartments and 2 zippered pockets, reducing weight while retaining practical functionality.
Yes, your folding umbrella will fit inside the carriel bag and you will still have space for your cell phone, small wallet or pouch, keys and glasses.
