02The material

The leather

Full-grain is the outermost layer of the hide, taken with the grain intact — the surface you touch is the surface the animal wore.

Cut and finished by hand. Substantial enough to hold its own shape, uneven in the way a natural material is, and lined in cotton throughout.

It deepens in color and softens with use, taking on a patina particular to the way you carry it — the handles first, then the corners, then everywhere it has been.

03The Orion Duffel

Built to be carried

Packed for a weekend, carried through the week.

Full-grain leather with our engraved weave, solid brass fittings, and a strap that says what we believe: form. function. frounder.

Rolled top handles, a detachable shoulder strap on brass clips, and enough structure to be packed hard and still look composed.

Your initials, engraved

Up to three initials, engraved into the leather before it ships — included if you choose it.

Add up to three initials on the product page before adding your bag to cart. Engraving is optional and included. Engraved pieces take a little longer to ship and cannot be returned unless faulty.
