The brand stands for authenticity and traditional craftsmanship. The products are entirely handmade and crafted from full-grain cowhide leather. Traditional tanning methods are used for the bags, applying vegetable extracts (such as tree bark and leaves), which is an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes. Unique Appearance: The leather undergoes an exclusive tanning process lasting several weeks to achieve its authentic, casual look. By using oils and polishes, each bag acquires a unique, subtle two-tone effect and develops a rich patina over time (a sheen created through use and aging).
Saccoo exclusively works with sustainable partners and local tanneries where fair wages and good working conditions prevail; child labor is strictly forbidden.
The designs are created by Bosboom in Amsterdam, a name that also served as the brand name from 1976 to 2004. From 2005 onwards, the designs were branded under the name Saccoo, maintaining the same style and philosophy.
Minimalist design and genuine craftsmanship give SACCOO bags a unique and timeless appearance.
In short, Saccoo focuses on people who value authentic, sustainable, and stylish leather goods that become more beautiful with time.
The Saccoo brand was founded by JP Bosboom, who is also the lead designer. The company operates under the name Sac&Co BV, Netherlands.
Background
Brand Origins: The designs currently sold under the Saccoo name were originally branded under the name Bosboom from 1976 to 2004. Following an organizational split in 2004, the designs were brought to market as Saccoo starting in 2005. Current Situation: In 2014, the company behind Saccoo reacquired the Bosboom brand name, and since then, both names often operate in combination, for example, as "Saccoo by Bosboom - Amsterdam". Corporate Structure: Saccoo Leathergoods is a division of Sac Co BV.
The designs are still largely created by JP Bosboom himself, with a focus on sustainable, handmade leather goods.
