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.
received news today that vegetable-tanned leather will ready by end of october... however, i am really pushing and hoping for beginning of october, so i can have bags made and shipped before christmas. let's hope that they can deliver it by then!
in the meantime, working on a bag design project with hyden yoo to complement his lovely spring 2012 collection. http://www.hydenyoo.com/#/collection can't wait to share the inspiration and bags.
