Satisfying Detail #1

SATISFYING DETAIL #2
Our colors come from vintage Porsche palettes. Each shade is timeless, rich and unique.

SATISFYING DETAIL #3
The foil used in our logos come from the same suppliers used to restore old cathedrals in Italy to ensure that it stands the test of time.

SATISFYING DETAIL #4
All of our hardware is made from solid brass. Every snap, zip and buckle are meant to evoke a sturdy sensation like clicking of a vintage Leica camera.
The springs in all of our locks were re-engineered to mimic the sound and sensation of a Porsche door closing which is powerful and solid.

SATISFYING DETAIL #5
Every bag is lined with alcantara, a microfibre used in vintage luxury cars known for its durability. The house color Amarone is the color of Melissa’s favourite wine.

SATISFYING DETAIL #6
SATISFYING DETAIL #7
Each bag has been tested in a facility in Italy that simulates 20 years of use; wind, rain, 10kg of stones and shaking.

Satisfying Detail #8
It took us 2 years to develop our own leather that is built to last, yet incredibly featherweight.
SATISFYING DETAIL #9
The base of all of our bags are rounded so that when it is filled and hits you at the hip, it is soft like a pillow.

The men’s Vagabond group was inspired by classic motorcycle jackets.
