Tarni is an Aboriginal name derived from the language of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains in South Australia. The name means “surf” or “wave” and evokes a sense of freedom and connection to nature - qualities we hold dear.
The Tarni has been two years in the making.
In the summer of 2024, my husband and I visited Uluṟu in the heart of Australia, where a little noodle shop packed their takeout in the most perfect little paper bags. I loved the shape. So, naturally, we decided to make one in leather.
The original paper bag somehow got thrown away after I carried it all the way home, so it took a fair amount of trial and error to get the proportions right.
But we finally did it!
Inspired by a humble paper takeout bag and made in our beautiful vegetable-tanned leather.
It’s simple, useful, and quietly beautiful.
Just the way we like things.
The attached strap allows the bag to be carried 3 ways.
One zippered internal pocket.
Solid brass feet.
Built for years of use and a lifetime of stories. Every bag includes free annual cleaning and conditioning, along with complimentary repairs for the first year. After that, just pay an hourly rate — even if the repair involves a pooch that loved your bag a little too much. 🐾 Lifetime Care Program →
