Leather is an iconic sign of luxury and superior class. Real leather is timeless, and as seasons come and go, it never goes out of style. Leather accessories are highly durable and can last for generations if well taken care of.
My team and I at Popov Leather have a reputation for producing high-quality locally made leather items.
If you want durable and well-designed leather items that offer long-term value, you’ll be glad to know that every item on this list is made using full-grain leather. This is the best type of leather, and ages beautifully by developing its own unique patina.
Everyday carry essentials, also known as EDCs, are items that you carry daily and are useful in your day-to-day activities. Although such items can vary from person to person, the list I’m going to share is pretty universal.

2. Leather Sunglasses & Eyeglass Case
For both men and women, sunglasses are an essential item and fashion accessory. Some of us have to put on glasses to aid in reading. Whichever the case, we need to have our glasses with us at all times.
Your glasses can easily get scratched or smudged if you’re carrying them loose in your bag, or tucking them into your shirt collar. But normal eyeglass cases can be bulky and poor quality.
You need a light and stylish case to help keep your glasses safe and accessible. A leather glasses case is not only stunning but will keep your lenses scratch-free, whether in your bag or on your car dashboard.
Handcrafted Leather Sunglass Case Designs
Leather sunglasses cases come in different shades to suit different preferences.
They are soft inside and thick, meaning they’ll cushion your eyeglasses in case of a fall or if they’re rubbed against something rough.
The leather sunglasses case from Popov Leather features a double-walled interior and a magnetic snap that easily shuts with no pressure required.
If you’re wondering whether this case will fit your sunglasses, it’s designed to fit glasses that are up to 2.5 inches high and 5.5 inches wide.
You can personalize your shades too just like Howard who had them engraved with his initials.
“This is a great way to store your sunglasses. I was force to buy a second one after my wife decided she should keep the first one for herself. I had the second one personalized with my initials so she wouldn’t do it a second time.”
3. Leather Tote Bag
No matter how many bags you own, you have to admit that tote bags provide a comfortable option for carrying essentials.

How to Maintain Your Full Grain Leather Accessories
Items made from real leather are pretty low maintenance and are meant to last a lifetime if they’re well taken care of.
Full-grain leather develops a patina as it ages. It’s a process that happens over time from wear and the accumulation of oils and dirt, making the item more beautiful and unique as it ages.
To make sure your leather accessories age gracefully, follow these simple tips:
- Use a soft microfibre cloth and mild soap to get rid of dust and dirt.
- Avoid harsh leather cleaners as they’ll ruin full-grain leather.
- Only use warm water to dampen the cloth. Make sure to wring out the excess water to leave it damp and not saturated.
- Do not scrub the leather, just wipe gently.
- Avoid using a dryer on your leather items as it could dry out and warp the leather. Let it dry naturally in the shape that you want it to remain in.
- Storage is key. Keep your leather items away from the radiator or any heat source as it can dry out and harden the leather.
- Use a quality leather conditioner to keep your items moisturized and waterproof.
If you take good care of your leather items, they’ll last you a lifetime and will never fall apart.
