Volynka Russian Leather

here i had a pleasure to present my volynka bolide, i'm not sure about the embossing beforehand but after seeing it's so much different than regular epsom. It's the most sturdy leather i see so far and it had the strong woody smell to the leather, now my room smells like birchwood.

That just looks so unique and fresh from the box, has that weathered look I love so much! I imagine the smell is almost otherworldly. Many congratulations!

This is one very handsome / chic bag!!! Does it feel heavier than other leathers?

Well I'm not a fan of brown altogether but the bags do look spectacular. But, like Barenia, its best beauties are the smell and the performance over time.
By the way the 'lostness' of this tanning technique is a tad overblown by the marketing but they will have worked hard to create a stunning leather. If anyone is interested in the modern torchbearers of this technique you need to visit https://www.tannerbates.co.uk/pages/about-our-leather and if you want to 'have a go' without breaking the bank try https://www.waremakers.com/gb/shop/home-office/stationery/penloop-notebook-in-russia-kip

Really? The Bolide is always so refreshingly light. I could put up with it though ha

I find it has a very rustic/country look about it.
It's not for me but I can certainly see many liking it.

I have a bolide in 45 in barenia, and I think this one is size 45 as well...not exactly light...pretty heavy once it gets loaded up with actual stuff.

I have a 45 in thick swift and your right much heavier than the more reg sizes

Reminds me of the 1924 Coco Chanel fragrance - Cuir de Russie - a name that I have always loved

Has anyone bought/seen the Volynka HAC in real life? Seems to be a dream bag.
