We collaborate with creative designers, entrepreneurs, and local and national brands across all stages of the product development process: from concept ideation to material selection, from pattern development to rapid sample iteration. Although we specialize in handbag “early” development, we also support the production of a wide range of product categories, and are eager to collaborate with you to bring your ideas into reality.
Our Services
Concept and pattern development
Our workshop team brings creative vision, practical manufacturing solutions, and a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to the early development process.
We can work from sketches, images, tech packs, or ideas to develop patterns and prototypes for your product.
Materials and Sourcing
We work with leather, fabrics, synthetic and advanced performance materials, hardware, and digital printing techniques; we also continue to explore sustainable alternatives.
Using our four decades of industry relationships, we collaborate with trusted tanneries, fabric mills, and hardware makers across the US and the world to source high quality-materials for your product.
Sampling and Production
We use our industry expertise and technical mastery to bring your products into reality through sampling rounds and small-batch production runs, all handcrafted at our studio in Midtown, NYC.
Our industry standard-exceeding local production enables rapid sample iteration and proof-of-concept production, ideal for both fashion week and editorial design.
