RESPONSIBILITY

Our studio's philosophy of 'slow luxury' is deeply rooted in our commitment to low-volume, local production by expert artisans. We prioritize unparalleled quality and craftsmanship above mass manufacturing. This approach not only minimizes waste but also ensures that the rhythm of nature is respected, guaranteeing each handbag meets the highest standards of quality.

We aim for a circular approach, seeking to utilize a variety of natural materials originating from the earth and capable of returning to it, thus completing a lifecycle in harmony with our surroundings. Our material selection includes not only traditional leathers but also exotic skins.

Regarding the exotic skins trade specifically, there are many misconceptions about its impact. Within a framework of stringent regulation, this trade can actually support biodiversity, contribute to the conservation of animal species, and strengthen rural economies. We aim to use a diversity of materials including exotic skins to help support these efforts. Read more here, and here.

We are dedicated to exploring more ethical sourcing methods. For example, we source invasive python skins from the Florida Everglades, where their overpopulation is wreaking havoc on a precious wetland ecosystem. This is part of a broader effort to manage species overpopulation and restore ecological balance.

As a small and nimble company, our goal is to experiment with new ways of making luxury handbags, to help move the the industry towards a more responsible future. We believe in creating products that not only embody quality and innovation but also represent a commitment to these 'slow luxury' principles.
