Our story
Designed around what actually has to fit.
We are a small team building leather bags for people who carry a laptop, a charger and lunch — and want to look like they did not try.
The short version
We started because most bags at this price are designed for a photograph. They photograph beautifully, then the zip catches, the base sags, and the "laptop compartment" turns out to be a slip of lining.
So we worked backwards from the boring questions: what has to fit, what has to survive, and what are you willing to carry all day? Every style is measured against a 14-inch laptop, a 6.7-inch phone and a 500ml bottle before anything else is decided.
How we choose materials
We state the material on every page. Full-grain cowhide where it matters, coated canvas where leather would make the bag too heavy, and PU never described as leather. If a listing says leather, it is leather — this is a legal requirement in the US (FTC leather labelling rules), not a courtesy.
Hardware is solid brass or brushed steel, not plated zinc. It is the first thing to fail on a cheap bag and the cheapest thing to get right.
How we ship
Orders ship from our US warehouse in 1–2 business days and arrive in 3–5 days by USPS or UPS Ground. You get a tracking link by email as soon as the label is created.
If something arrives damaged, email us a photo and we replace it — no return shipping needed.
What we are not
We are not a luxury house and we do not pretend to be. There is no heritage story, no atelier in Florence, no waiting list. What you are paying for is leather, hardware, and a pattern that was fitted to real use.
