My love of travel has always involved looking for something different, for

something unique… For me these unique influences, these colors, have had

an enormous impact on the products I create. For that reason, every year I

travel the World to track down the most beautiful and the highest quality

natural raw material imaginable. After these years traveling the world, I am

proud to present you my collection of finely crafted leather goods and ac-

cessories. I hope you enjoy the products as much as I did creating it.

als from different origins and the fusion of tradition and innovation to

create stylish re-interpretations of classic products are at the heart of

Yaks are cattle-like animals about the size of small

oxen. They are domesticated animals on the Tibetan

plateau and are widely used in agriculture but do not

fall into the category of protected or endangered

species. The generic Tibetan name of the animal

means "wealth" or “jewel that grant all your wishes”.

The love and careful selection of the highest quality

of raw materials are essential qualities of fine leather

goods makers. For us, people contribute ideas, skills

and hard work while Mother Nature provides the

materials. All our products are manufactured in the

highest respect of the environment, using only natu-

ral eco-friendly materials.

At Smith & Norbu, we select the hides of the yak from

the Tibetan plateau for their incredible resistance and

lightness. Our hides are then specially tanned with natu-

ral plant extracts and organically dyed with natural

pigments to create soft, smooth, comfortable, yet strong

and light products that comply with the most stringent

ECO standards. All our leathers are natural, promising

you sensuality through touch. Yak Leather ages with

style, acquiring a signature patina that adds depth and

character.

In order to make our products more resistant, we are using a high

tech multifilament thread designed to offer very high seam

strength and abrasion resistance.

Every product is decorated with the endless knot, a closed,

graphic ornament composed of right-angled, intertwined lines,

which has inspired the visual identity of Smith & Norbu. It is said

that since all phenomena are interrelated, the placing of the end-

less knot on a gift or greeting card is understood to establish an

auspicious connection between the giver and the recipient. As

with all Smith & Norbu products, our sterling silver signatures

are made to the very highest standards of quality and craftsman-

ship. They are handcrafted on the foothills of the Himalaya by

experienced artisans.

years, we recommend you to observe some instructions.

Apply a neutral, and natural leather care and cream product regularly, using a soft

cloth to your product immediately after purchase. Smooth or grain leather should

be cleaned using a soft, dampened sponge or cloth.

Leather cream will provide a level of water resistance that will help to prevent

discoloration of the leather. Do not use waxes, or silicone formulas or other

leather preparations that impair the ability of the leather to breathe. Never use

caustic household chemicals to clean leather. Never use leather preparations that

contain alcohol

In a dry environment, regularly condition the leather in order to prevent it from

drying out and cracking.

Leather is sensitive to the effects of light and water. To keep it in perfect condi-

tion, it should be protected from prolonged exposure to strong light and dried

with a soft cloth if it gets wet. Allow wet or damp leather to air-dry naturally away

from any source of heat.

At S&N, we have always set high standards for the way we conduct business

(in areas from corporate and social responsibility to sound business ethics,

including compliance with all applicable laws and regulations). In turn, we

expect the same commitment from our suppliers. This is the why we have

established the S&N Supplier Conduct Principles. These principles speak to

the commitments we make to our clients, our legacy of innovation and rela-

tionships built on trust and personal responsibility. They establish the stan-

dards required for conducting business with S&N. The goal is to work with

suppliers to ensure full compliance with these principles, as they in turn

apply them to their own suppliers they work with in the delivery of goods

and services for S&N. We will consider these principles in our selection of

suppliers and will actively monitor their compliance.
