Bear Design

Do you love genuine leather with character? Bear Design makes timeless bags, wallets and accessories from supple, eco-tanned buffalo leather that becomes even more beautiful with use. At ByMetz, you will find a wide Bear Design collection.

Which Bear Design bag suits you?

Bear Design is known for natural-looking leather, well-designed compartments and a warm, vintage look. These are the models our customers choose most often:

• Ashley shoulder bag: our best-selling leather shoulder bag. Spacious enough for your everyday essentials, with an adjustable strap and the typical soft feel of buffalo leather.
• Davide shoulder bag & Monique shoulder bag: more compact crossbody models for anyone who wants to go into the city light and hands-free, with enough room for your phone, wallet and keys.
• Sil leather backpack: stylish leather backpack that goes from work to the weekend, comfortable to carry and equipped with a laptop compartment.
• Igor phone bag: small crossbody bag for your phone and cards, ideal as a minimalist companion.

Can't choose between two models? Consider the size, how you want to carry it and how much you take with you each day. This makes it easier to choose the Bear Design bag that suits you.

Bear Design leather

Bear Design uses eco-tanned, vegetable-tanned buffalo leather. This gives every bag its own grain and colour variation, so no two pieces are exactly alike. The leather is supple from day one and develops a beautiful patina over the years. Small scratches and signs of use are part of its natural look and give your bag even more character. Applying leather grease or balm occasionally keeps the leather nourished and water-repellent.

Shoulder bag, backpack or small leather goods: what should you choose?

• Shoulder bag (such as Ashley and Monique): the versatile choice for everyday use, with room for your essentials and often an extra compartment for a tablet.
• Leather backpack (such as Sil): distributes the weight evenly and keeps your hands free, ideal for work, school or cycling.
• Crossbody bags & phone bags (such as Davide and Igor): compact and hands-free, perfect when you only take the essentials with you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Bear Design bag?

That depends on your style and how you use it. For everyday use, the best-selling Ashley shoulder bag is a great choice. If you want to go into the city hands-free, the Davide or Monique shoulder bag is a good match. Looking for something for work or school? Then the Sil leather backpack is ideal.

What type of leather are Bear Design bags made from?

Bear Design uses eco-tanned buffalo leather with a natural grain. The leather is supple, strong and develops a beautiful patina over the years. This means every bag is slightly unique in colour and texture.

How do I care for my leather bag?

Clean the leather with a dry or slightly damp cloth and treat it a few times a year with leather grease or balm. This keeps the leather nourished, supple and water-repellent. Avoid prolonged exposure to bright sunlight and always let a wet bag dry at room temperature.
