Ratio et motus, a young brand by Asian-American designers. I don't own any by them, but I'm keeping my eye on them. Here's what they say about their materials:

We care about the impact the fashion industry has on the environment. The sustainable responsibility is carried out through our business practices.

We only source leather from local Italian tanneries with a mission of low carbon footprint, minimum toxic wastage, low water consumption and ethical supply chain.

All leather used on our products are by-product from the meat industry and our water repellent lining is made of Vegan leather.

All customized hardwares are made of nickle-free plating.​

Prices are ~500-1600USD, but cool and unique:

Fashionkind has a carefully curated selection of clothing and accessories that make a difference in the world. Each item has a beautiful story behind the charitable cause it supports and most are made by hand from traditional art forms. Here are some of the prettiest bags from their website, and the prices range from $345-$2200. Expensive, but it is arguably fair when you consider to whom the money is going!

Really like the look of the first one; thanks for sharing! How does the leather feel? Is it soft or rigid? Smooth, supple, stiff? Any idea what kind of leather it is? Sorry for all the questions!

Been using the kutchra (1st one) for a week or more now and in love with it. The leather is rigid and smooth, has a good weight and shine to it. It is coated calf leather! It holds a good amount of item for daily use, i put ipad, phone, water bottle, note book, wallet and keys in, the shapes holds really well. I get a lot of people asking about the bag, it has been a good conversation starter.
