Our Commitment

We believe that quality and timelessness should be accessible to everyone. With our main line we make every effort to achieve this. And how do we do it?

We cut out the middlemen	We sell directly to the consumer, reducing our  margin and cutting the resale margin.
We create fewer samples	Given that the line is classic and timeless, samples and prototyping are only done once, as opposed to constantly creating prototypes and new samples.
We keep the design simple	A classic and timeless design lasts a lifetime. By creating timeless products, with no expiration date, which will always be available, season after season, suppliers gain more experience and ways to build them with less waste.
Affordable prices	It is important to explain what an affordable price means to us. This does not mean that we will create handbags for 30€. However, we create luxury pieces at affordable prices. For us, this price means a price that is fair, it means a price that  reflects the specialized work of the supplier, that reflects all the real costs including fair wages, that includes raw material from ethical and sustainable origins, and that represents the quality that lasts for years and years, without the need to use other pieces. In the end, this cost will be diluted by uses and durability.
