200 years at the bottom of the sea

The English Calf Hilt is a reproduction of a Russian calf leather that survived two centuries under water. It's tanned for 14 months in tree barks and smells of smoke and wood. Each wrap is cut, burnished and finished by hand in Montana, then wears in with you.

The Hilt - English Calf

"I am the definition of a small operation."

ROV was born out of a love for thoughtful carry. It runs out of Minneapolis, with help from a leather worker in Montana and one of the premier heritage bag makers in the US. Customer service, fulfillment and everything else come through one person.
