Some things are bought once, and carried always.

We make a single bag, and we make it properly — by hand, to order, from the finest cut of the hide.

Upon the road

It rolls like luggage.
It ages like leather.

The wheels and handle attend to the carrying. The leather attends to the impression — deepening, softening, and improving with every mile travelled.

One hide. One maker. Fourteen hours.

We begin with vegetable-tanned full-grain leather — the strongest and most honest cut of the hide, bearing the grain and character of its origin. Nothing is split, bonded, or coated to hide a lesser truth.

The wheel housing and telescopic handle are set into a reinforced full-grain base. Every seam is saddle-stitched by hand, with two needles and waxed linen, so that a single broken thread can never run. It is slower work. It is the only work we are willing to put our name to.
