Premium Calf Leather

All of our leather products are made with premium-grade sustainable calfskin from, arguably, the highest quality tannery in Italy. Operating continuously for nearly 100 years, this partner is one of the most advanced and environmentally safe leather finishers in the world. The leather quality - color, finish consistency, absence of flaws - speaks for itself.

Italian Polished Zippers

We use what most designers consider to be the finest zipper in the world. Manufactured in Italy, they are expensive but worth every Euro. They pull like a knife through butter, with just enough, but never too much, resistance. They won't catch or tear. They simply don't fail. It's not difficult to get excited about these components which exhibit the best in design and industrial technology.

Custom Bronze Hardware

All of the metal hardware - rings, buttons, feet, and zipper pulls - is handmade. Each piece is designed by our artists, cast in ancient bronze using the lost-wax casting process, and then plated for a polished (or optional brushed) nickel finish. Harder than rock, these pieces will last forever. Their design is intended to reflect each unique collection.

Lightweight Polished Carabiners

In partnership with the best US manufacturer of technical hardware for climbing, rescue, and commercial use, we designed a high-strength removable carabiner that is used to attach the hand and shoulder straps to our bags. This custom component is a beauty to behold - functional, light, easy to use, and classically stylish. Yes, simple can be better.

Functional Design

We design our products to be used every day. We carefully consider their function and what our customers want and need. We favor clean design that simultaneously meets our performance expectations and showcases a refined classic style. Every detail is considered for its impact on convenience, usability, comfort, security, wear, and style.
