Made with two layers of brown vegetable tanned kangaroo leather and a sandwiched layer of coloured leather showing through the perforated top. The collar hardware is stainless steel, the swivel scissor clip is nickel plated and all of the leather edges are saddle stitched and burnished.

Prologo Baum Ristretto
Declan's Baum Ristretto has seen a couple of paint schemes inspired by the design sensibilities of Sir Paul Smith. Some might say it's a bit overboard but we certainly had a lot of fun with both the saddle and the two piece saddle bag. The bar tape in white leather has perforation colours to match the saddle. The saddle in the last photo is after a few years riding the previous iteration of the Ristretto.
