Portland Monthly x Orox Leather: Fall Fashion Feature

Thanks so much Portland Monthly Magazine for featuring our new Luster Leather Collection in their Fall Fashion 2019 Stories!

Check out the entire Luster Leather Collection here and please also give POMO's blog post a scroll for a full list of other amazing shops and accessories.

The Parva Rucksack was handmade using high quality leather and canvas and was made for outdoor adventures!

Winter Adventures with Parva- Taking Quality Leather Goods into the Great Outdoors

When I was told this beautiful, hand-crafted rucksack was made of waterproof canvas and built to last a lifetime, I immediately wanted to test it's limits. Call it a remnant childhood need to challenge what I'm told, or call it a sense of curiosity, but I'll tell you one thing: this bag has now been thoroughly field tested. Luckily I live in the beautiful, rugged Pacific Northwest, and opportunities to drag it through the wilderness are easy to come by.

Leather Care- A How-To Guide from a Craftsman Perspective

Here at Orox, we get all kinds of questions about our products. There's a lot to learn when you're thinking about making a new leather purchase! But one of the questions we get the most is 'How do I take care of it?'
