DESCRIPTION

The Martha is designed to be your everyday carry — spacious enough for real life, yet refined enough to feel intentional. It’s the bag you reach for when the day might take turns: work, errands, dinner, travel. With room for essentials and then some, it balances function and form without feeling bulky. Structured but soft, practical yet elegant — The Martha is made to support your rhythm, not slow it down.

Handcrafted in a family-run factory in Portugal, The Martha is made from premium, chrome-free European leather, chosen for its durability and ability to age beautifully. The leather develops character over time while maintaining its structure. Produced in small quantities with long-term use in mind — fewer pieces, better materials, lasting quality. Each bag comes with a protective dust bag for storage.

At Blankens, we see bags as everyday tools — personal, functional, and quietly powerful. The Martha was created from our own need for a bag that carries a full day without feeling heavy or over designed. Designed by women, for women, it’s meant to work across settings and seasons, adapting to your life rather than defining it.

The Martha is a spacious leather shoulder bag crafted in smooth chrome-free European leather. It features a clean silhouette with a structured yet soft shape, designed to hold everyday essentials while maintaining a sleek, balanced look.

CARE

We want your bag to be your favorite companion for years to come! With just a little love and care, this beautiful exterior will only get more stunning over time. Here is how to keep it happy:


Nourish the leather: Treat the exterior leather occasionally with our Delicate Leather cream. It keeps the leather wonderfully supple and ensures it ages beautifully, step after step, day after day.


Time to rest: When your bag isn't out exploring with you, keep it cozy inside its dust bag. This protects the leather from dust and direct light, keeping the color vibrant.

Love the sun, but watch the heat: Natural leather develops a beautiful character over time, but it prefers to stay away from prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, heavy moisture, or direct heat.

If it rains: Got caught in a drizzle? No problem! Simply blot the bag gently with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally. Never use a heater or hairdryer — patience is a virtue!

Keep it fresh: A light wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth keeps the leather looking its best. The soft micro suede lining can easily be dusted off or gently cleaned with a lint roller if needed. Avoid any harsh cleaners or solvents!
