This is stealth luxury. This is knowing luxury. Instead of bells, whistles, and shiny things, there is quality and an integrity from the best Italian vegetable tanned leathers to ancient leatherworking techniques. Like only a very few European ateliers, Entermodal makes one bag from one hide. There is no assembly line. Each bag is handcut and sewn by one person. Every Entermodal wallet is completely handstitched. Every bag takes at least 10 hours to create and each of the bags in the Creative collection requires more than an entire workday of handstitching.

“I create hats for the individual. It’s really an art form and every hat is crafted expressly for the wearer. During the initial fitting, I size the man up and create something that suits him perfectly.”
