Two years of development — and finally, I am happy to lift the curtain.
In our fast-moving era, I wanted to create a ‚slow‘ product that could stay with you for a very long time — as we hope all our products do. For the first time, I wanted you to be part of the creation: we craft, you shape.
This new concept is for those who value longevity, tactility, and time — a bag that grows in character with each day, far removed from the pace of the fashion industry.
PB 1 is the base.
My aim was simple: to design a large, lightweight bag that adapts to different occasions — and that you can help shape.
We chose a softer, vegetable-tanned leather that develops beautiful character over time and gently conforms to the body. To keep it light, we omitted the lining; the reverse side of the leather is specially treated to remain smooth.
Inside, essential compartments provide structure — a feature many of you requested. Few metal parts keep the bag refined and weightless.
One key detail: the shoulder straps. After many trials, we found a position that allows the upper third of the bag to fold inward when unfilled, naturally concealing the zipper. This transforms the silhouette — unfilled, it feels like a shopper; filled, it becomes a weekender. For the first time, PB 1 allows something truly personal: you define the dimensions — we craft your bag by hand, just for you.

I look forward to your feedback — and to shaping this concept together.
Which size would suit you best?
Kindest,
