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.

Considered from every side
✦
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.
