From the softest nubuck to carefully placed leather trims and intricate handwoven designs, every element is thoughtfully considered. Our nubuck, chosen for its velvety softness and refined finish, is lightly buffed to enhance its natural character while maintaining durability, giving each piece a beautifully lived-in feel from the very first wear. These aren’t just accessories, they're timeless pieces made to be collected, cherished, and worn for years to come. 

Each piece is meticulously crafted by a small, family-run production house with deep rooted expertise in leather goods. Founded by Zita, a technician with over 25 years of experience, the house stands on a foundation of integrity, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Every material, from the leather to the metal hardware, is consciously chosen, ensuring that each piece is not only beautiful but built to last.
