The Carmen | Leather poop bag holder for dogs

In stock

Picking up poop isn’t glamorous. But the thing that holds your bags? That can be.

Made from veg-tan leather and finished with a secure press stud, The Carmen keeps your poop bag roll tucked away and ready when nature calls. It clips onto your lead, belt loop, or bag, so you’re never caught in that awkward no-bag moment mid-walk. Because nothing ruins a nice stroll like realising you’re unprepared.

Handcrafted in Cape Town from quality materials that last for years, not months. We pair our leather poop bag holders with Bonnie Bio bags – biodegradable and made locally in Cape Town.

Ideal for: Daily dog walks, hiking, city strolls, organised dog parents, anyone tired of fumbling with plastic dispensers

FAQs

1. How do I clean the leather if it gets dirty?
Just wipe it down with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a tiny bit of mild soap, then wipe clean. Let it air dry naturally. If you want to keep it looking fresh, treat it with leather conditioner or balm every few months.
2. Does the leather soften over time?
Yes, that's one of the best things about vegetable-tanned leather. It starts firm and develops character as you use it—becoming softer and more personalized to your handling. Think of it like breaking in a good pair of boots.
3. Will this fit my bulk poop bag rolls?
It fits standard poop bag rolls (the ones you'll find at most pet shops). We've checked against most common brands and they fit perfectly.
4. What's the difference between The Carmen and The Tosca?
orders. Get in touch if you're interested, and we'll see what we can do. The Carmen has a press-stud closure; The Tosca has hand-stitched detailing. Both are made from the same quality leather and function identically. It's purely a style preference – pick whichever look you like better.
5. Can I personalise it or add my dog's name?
Not currently, but we're open to custom orders. Get in touch if you're interested, and we'll see what we can do.
