Behind the brand
History of Harber London
Founded in 2013, Harber London was born out of a disgruntled conversation around a kitchen table in a small flat in London. It turned out that Armando Isaac, William Mosquera, and Caroline Maldonado were all equally unimpressed by how difficult it was to find quality laptop sleeves.
Whilst the founding team had little knowledge regarding how to design or manufacture leather products, they harnessed their mutual genuine passion for handmade leather goods to make the vision come to life. Harbor London’s leather bags and accessories hit the elusive sweet spot between timeless and trendy. And with a touch of personalized sentimentality, they quickly became the go-to present for gifting genius around the world—ourselves included.
Interesting facts about Harber London
You can never go wrong with gifting luxury leather goods. But when they’re personalized too, well then you’ve almost certainly staked your claim at the top of the list of thank you notes. Every Harbor London bag, wallet or accessory can be customized with an extra touch of sentimentality. And we’re not just talking about tiny initials (although we love those too.) The brand also does full-scale images and other meaningful details. Basically, if you can imagine it, they can do it.
When it comes to sustainable quality, Harbor London only uses premium ethical leathers. The brand only sources full-grain, naturally preserved leathers, ensuring that its products are durable, decadent and only improve with age. Only 15% of hides worldwide can be categorized as full-grain, so you really know that you are getting the best of the best when purchasing Harber London.
Besides their dedication to unparalleled quality and high-end finishes, Harber London is also intrinsically sustainable. The brand only sources leathers that are a byproduct of the meat industry. And all of its leathers are vegetable tanned. By only using organic materials, all Harbor London leathers are biodegradable and non-toxic to the planet or the people using them. Considering that almost 95% of leathers worldwide are dyed using environmentally harmful chemicals, this is a huge deal to us.
Also a big deal: security. Especially pertaining to our wallets and cardholders. These days, securing your finances isn’t as simple as keeping your cash in your front pocket. Like everything else, pickpockets have gone digital with technologies that allow them to scan card details on the move. Equipped to take on big cities and all that comes with them, Harber London wallets and cardholders feature RFID blocking to protect your information from electronic pickpocketing. For us—this is an uncompromisable essential for travels and everyday commutes.
Harber London product range
Born out of the failure to find good quality laptop covers, we consider tech carriers to be Harber London’s trademark. With some of our best tech organizers for men and women, the burgeoning brand epitomizes what it means to keep calm and carry on—a lot easier said when you’re toting around the sartorial equivalent of a personal assistant.
Besides boardroom-ready briefcases and laptop holders, the brand’s other office essentials include leather notebooks and mouse pads. Its signature backpacks and rucksacks make daily commutes breezy. While some of our best gym bags for men and best apple watch bands keep us fit and active.
Signature materials and craftsmanship
Made from hard-wearing, environmentally certified materials, all Harber London leather bags, and accessories are engineered to last long and to help the planet last longer. The brand’s responsibly sourced materials include genuine leather, wool felt, microfibers, cotton twill and a fabric made from recycled plastic bottles.
Whilst genuine leather has gained a bad environmental reputation in the fashion industry, Harber London proves that when sourced sustainably and tanned consciously, it can actually be one of the most sustainable materials. Harber London only sources leathers that are a byproduct of the meat industry. And whilst you may argue that the industry shouldn’t exist at all, while it does, we’d rather not see animal hides tossed aside.
Another huge environmental issue with traditional leather is that it is tanned using chemicals. Not only does this make the natural fiber non-biodegradable, but these chemicals are harmful to people and the planet. Cognizant of this, Harber London only uses vegetable-tanned leathers that are dyed using non-toxic, organic, renewable resources.
Wool felt and cotton twill are other premium, responsible materials used by the brand. Sustainably sourced, Harber London’s wool and cotton are renewable and biodegradable. Soft, moisture-wicking and soil-resistant, wool felt makes the perfect fabric for the inside of the brand’s laptop cases and tech organizers. While durable, classical cotton is used for backpacks and bags.
We appreciate that Harber London goes the extra mile to lighten the carbon footprint of all their products. But perhaps the most sustainably impressive product is the Classic Rucksack. Made from recycled plastic bottles, the hard-wearing fabric is water-resistant and durable. And it’s got Mother Nature’s back by keeping used bottles out of landfills and oceans.
