Each bag is designed and handcrafted in NYC and is one-of-a-kind.

Coated Fabric
The signature, artisanal ‘beaded’ herringbone hemp is hand-woven by Romanian craftswomen on vintage looms, hand-painted, and finished with a non-toxic fabric technology in the US to increase durability. 

Leather
The luxurious French full-grain, vegetable tanned calfskin is tanned under strict environmental regulations.   The leather will develop a beautiful, natural patina with time and exposure to light.

Lining
The natural, chemical-free European linen lining in signature print was hand-drawn by kyoko kato and is hand-printed with water-based ink by artisans in Brooklyn.  

Hardware
The bags are finished with solid brass industrial, fishing, and boating hardware.  Like the leather, the brass hardware will develop a natural patina with time.
