BESPOKE

Each bespoke project begins with a conversation.

We define your needs, select leathers and hardware, and design a piece that’s uniquely yours.

Every bag is hand-cut and saddle-stitched in my Da Lat workshop for a lifetime of use.

THE PROCESS

The process follows 6 steps:

  1. Discovery We talk about your needs, style, and what you want in your project. We will cover inspiration, themes, and function, and how we can achieve them.

  2. Design & Details I sketch options and the design is refined until we have a clear understanding of the project scope and scale. Pockets, gadgets, compartments; everything is worked out here.

  3. Materials & Quote You choose the leather type, texture, colour, and hardware.

    More expensive materials (premium calfskin, exotics like snake, ostrich, crocodile, etc.) will affect the cost estimate.

    I give a quote based on the materials, and complexity of the design.

  4. Deposit Confirmed Cost estimate is finalized and non-refundable deposit is paid.

    The deposit is used to acquire materials and production begins.

  5. Crafting Each project is carefully assembled in my workshop. I will occasionally send updates on the process if any adjustments need to be made.

  6. Delivery Your bag is shipped or hand delivered in 4 to 8 weeks.
