BLAKE is a refinement of truly innovative leather craftsmanship, technical engineering, and materials experimentation. The designers’ ambition was to simultaneously recognize Ireland’s contemporary technological skill and ancient connection to the natural world and landscape of the country.
Tactile, pure, and considered with an emphasis on folds, soft materials, knots, and clasps. Forgoing zips as, by composition, they have a resistant, mechanical, and industrial quality. Enhancing the luxury of hand-crafted leather bags with contemporary technical materials. The slim magnetically enhanced carbon fiber frame, wrapped in top-grain calf leather provides strength, flexibility, and design integrity. It has the performance of a traditional physicians’ bag with the increased size and lightweight elements of a globe-trotting hold-all. Custom gold-plated hardware was designed and engineered in Ireland for BLAKE’s unique design requirements. Tactile dimpled latches, hinges, and saddles finish the frame, while custom-designed countersunk screws that can only be tensioned from the inside set the components flush. A bag for the refined traveler.
