The Making
Each bandolier is made individually in our workshop in Romania. The leather is selected by hand, cut with precision, and assembled entirely by hand from beginning to end.
The combination of nubuck and vegetable-tanned leather creates a balance between softness and structure. Over time, the leather develops more depth, character, and a surface that reflects the life of the piece.
