Locally Made, Locally Sourced

Our micro-workshop, nestled in the heart of Montreal, is where the magic happens. We believe in the importance of sourcing materials locally, which is why we use Horween leather, a premium material known for its durability and character. By choosing locally and environmentally sourced materials, we reduce our carbon footprint and support sustainable practices. This commitment to responsible sourcing ensures that our leather goods are not only of the finest quality but also aligned with our values of environmental stewardship.
