The small cosmetic bag is made from the wonderfully soft, vegetable pit-tanned cowhide that Sonnenleder also uses for its hand-flattering handbags. It therefore not only matches the look and feel of the beautiful pieces, but is also the perfect size for them. It is large enough to hold cosmetics or other small items and thus keep your bag tidy - which is why some people call this type of cosmetic bag a tidy bag - but also small enough not to take up too much space in the bag.

The cosmetic bag is unlined and has no further compartments inside. The individual teeth of the zipper have been polished so that it has no sharp edges and is pleasantly smooth-running.

Sonnenleder in Bodman-Ludwigshafen on Lake Constance stands for a consistently functional, pure design. The meticulously working company still uses the traditional method of leather production: vegetable pit tanning. Only hides from southern German cattle are used for this. The tanning agents used contain mainly decoctions of bark, roots and fruit. In twelve pits with slightly increasing concentrations of tanning broth, they convert the protein fibers of the cattle hides into leather fibers over a period of six to twelve weeks.
After tanning, the hides are air-dried and greased in a lubrication barrel according to a well-guarded recipe. Undyed, the finished leather has a characteristic, slightly light brown-reddish hue, which also gave the leather the name "red-tanned" and which varies from batch to batch. Use, sun and rain change the color tone, and over time a natural protection forms, the patina, which gives the leather an unmistakable appearance. The leather dyed in the barrel also acquires a shiny patina with use.
