Veyra Weekly – Vol. 31

This week, Veyra Weekly highlights two brands pushing leather craftsmanship into sculptural territory — the gothic geometry of Saddermander and the engraved durability of Exuvial.

Saddermander – Double Cone Bag

Saddermander approaches accessories with a focus on hand construction and dramatic form, and their Double Cone Bag is one of the clearest examples of that philosophy.

The piece is fully hand-stitched from 100% cow leather, forming a sharp dual-cone silhouette that feels both architectural and gothic. Rather than following the typical soft curves of traditional bags, the geometry creates a striking profile that feels almost sculptural.

Recently displayed at the Cube Showroom in Paris, the piece has become a defining design for the brand. Saddermander is now revisiting the bag through an upcoming collaboration with Afraid Of Your Own Shadow (AOYOS) — introducing a reworked version that continues to evolve the concept.

The collaboration preview suggests a continued exploration of dark aesthetics, handcrafted detail, and experimental form, keeping the bag rooted in its original identity while expanding the visual language around it.

Exuvial – ENGRAVED BELT #1 “SERESPINA”

Toronto-based Exuvial focuses on leather pieces built to last for decades, combining durability with carefully detailed surface design.

Their ENGRAVED BELT #1: “SERESPINA” is a collaboration with artist Spyd333r, beginning with a sigil drawn by hand on paper before being digitized and laser-engraved into Exuvial’s 1.5-inch “Base” belt design.

The repeating sigil pattern flows continuously around the entire belt, weaving precisely through the seven sizing holes without breaking the design rhythm — a small detail that reveals the precision behind the piece.

Construction focuses on longevity. The belt uses full-grain buffalo leather, a material over twice as thick as typical full-grain cowhide, giving the piece exceptional durability while preserving the leather’s natural texture.

Vegetable tanning allows the leather to age naturally over time, gradually molding to the wearer’s body as it breaks in. At roughly 3.5mm thick and paired with brushed stainless steel hardware, the belt is designed with one goal in mind: indestructibility.

Each belt is made to order and custom sized, reinforcing Exuvial’s approach to slow, intentional production.
