1. ADAPTABILITY
Each item is designed with our clean aesthetic that adapts to moments in your changing life – gym bags that won’t look out of place in the boardroom, and backpacks that work with a suit.

5. ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND
We aim to make great products, while minimising harm to the planet and its inhabitants. Our fabrics are made from recycled plastics. And our leathers are vegetable-tanned, using hides that are a natural byproduct of farming. We also make sure your order is safely despatched in packaging made of recycled materials.
