Crafted with care and thought through, from the materials we use to the partners we choose.

Stitched together by a curiosity for the world around us. Like the beauty of organic shapes found in nature, the curves and clean lines found in architecture, the energy and passion found in the people we meet.

They are designed with our planet’s best interest at heart. Because the mark we leave should be one with minimal impact.

People are the common thread

Behind every bag hides the story of someone fascinating. They inspire us, they become the model and their name becomes the name of the bag. The process from idea to design is shaped by the conversations we have, connecting their functional wants and needs with a design that fits our aesthetic.

Material matters

"I'm always keeping the material in mind. Since founding the label, I've consistently been invested in researching durable, upcycled or innovative materials. For me, finding the right material is a crucial aspect of the design process.” — Lies Mertens

We select only European materials, handpicked for their quality, durability and authenticity. Each bag is constructed from sustainable materials, thoughtfully selected for their quality, traceability and long-lasting characteristics.

Leather sourced from experienced crafters

Leather is a long lasting material that has proven itself to stand the test of time. We only use leather being a by-product of the meat industry. We believe in leather as a natural material, evolving a beautiful patina over time.

The tanneries we work with are alle European and reuse water, limit waste and chemicals and optimise energy use. All our tanneries are certified by Leather Working Group, a global multi-stakeholder community committed to building a sustainable future with responsible leather.

We work with the following tanneries:

• Richard Hoffmans GmbH & Co, Germany
• Vitelco, the Netherlands
• Rigato Romano, Italy
• Soft Art, Germany
  

Leatherlike material created by innovative thinkers

As the world aims to reduce meat production, available leather will reduce as well. This challenges us to experiment with sustainable, innovative alternatives. Materials with the same high standards we achieve, preferably starting from residual waste, just like leather.

Crafted with care by our production ateliers

Each bag is crafted by hand, ensuring both quality and sustainability. We work in close collaboration with artisans, persuing the finest craftsmanship.

We maintain strong partnerships with two family-run production ateliers, located in Italy and Belgium/Tunisia.

Leaving our mark with minimal impact

We are very aware of the toll our industry takes on the planet. Making a bag from scratch takes energy and resources. Trying to do it with less impact is an investment that comes with a cost as well. But we're committed to do so anyway.
