The Chester in Slate Blue

The one that is all style and slouch appeal

DESIGNER'S NOTES

NEW for Autumn/Winter 2026, the Chester will be available in Slate Blue, a deep muted shade drawn from the cooler, more elemental tones of England's northern landscape. Versatile enough to sit effortlessly alongside both black and navy, it offers a softer, warmer alternative to black.

Pre-orders are now open, with deliveries commencing in early September.

The Chester was conceived around a simple idea: that the pleasure of a thoughtfully designed artisan bag lies as much in the experience of carrying it as in its appearance. Hand-cut, worked and stitched from silky full-grain Italian calf leather by a small family workshop in Rome, its softly structured silhouette is complemented by a spacious interior, a top handle and an adjustable crossbody strap. The Chester reflects RUSKIN’s belief that the best design balances understated polish with everyday practicality.
