How we make

With quality and individuality at the forefront of every Ruxx design,
our products are designed, sampled and road tested before they hit our shop and
website. Making in small quantities allows us to make in an extensive colour
pallet that is chosen for each season. Some of our favourite colours run
throughout the year and we select distinctive trend colours to accent the
fashion season.

  • The workshop

    The workshop is busy all year-round making stock
    product runs, and customer made to order items.

    If a product is showing ‘out of order’ on the website, then you can still order it as it will be made specially for you. We just ask you to be patient as it will be scheduled into a 2-4 week window where possible.We typically make our bags in small runs of 3-10 per colour but
    occasionally we make one offs too. So, it is rare that you will bump into someone with the same bag as you.

    That’s what makes our bags unique.

     

  • By-Procuct

    All our leathers and furs are of the highest quality coming from tanneries that have been working for generations. The only fur we use is sheep and cow hide known as ‘shearling’ and ‘hair on hide’. This is where the hair has been left on before it is tanned. In particular, long-haired cow gives a hard-wearing fur finish that we have tumbled to give it a soft handle. All the leather and
    hair finishes are by-products of the meat industry. We would not use fur that has been farmed for its skin. We try our best not to waste any of the hides, making items out of the offcuts. This is both sustainable and economical.

  • Italian Veg Tan Leather

    Our belts and some of our handles are made of premium Italian Veg Tanned leather. The type saddlers would use to create long lasting and hard-wearing
    straps. Over time this wears beautifully and takes on a vintage patina of its own the more you use it. Our belt leather is ‘tumbled’ before we cut into it so
    that it is partly broken in to give it a softer feeling. We use three finishes, Black, Tan and Natural.  The natural will come as a pale blush skin colour that will darken with age and take on a vintage look as it reacts with UV light ending with a light tan. It’s our favourite leather to work with and the result is everlasting beauty.

  • Brand values

    As we extend our range, you will notice our brand identity will stay constant. Ruxx is about simplicity with the wow factor. The use of oval fittings and zip facings
    carries the soft edges of our logo. Our silver lining gives our bags the luxury on the inside to match the wow factor on the outside. It bounces light to
    naturally illuminate the inside of your bag making it easy to find your contents. The zip pulls are handmade to match the leather of the bag which takes time,
    but we think it is worth it. Our straps a made with design and use of the bag in mind so that they are comfortable and distribute weight in relation to the size of the bag.
