This design studio, based in Buenos Aires, was founded by designers Dolores Mouriño and Lucila De Paula who have been working together since 2009.

"We value the elemental beauty of materials, local heritage and the harmony in craft. We believe in the importance of a slow thoughtful process in the creation of each object, endorsed by the power of simplicity and function. We pursue classic simplicity and essential functionality building high quality products that will last the test of time and adapt to the changing needs of our customer."

All their bags are handcrafted in small runs in Argentina using gently tumbled and smooth fine grain leather, genuine vegetable tanned leather and water resistant cotton canvas, all with hardware that is crafted in brass by local artisans.
