Description

The ARCH Woven takes the soft, organic silhouette of the ARCH Bag and adds a new dimension of craft. Its surface is hand-woven from strips of INNOVERA™ suede, interlaced one by one into a supple lattice that holds its form while moving freely with the body.

The weave lends depth and texture to the rounded shape; the custom MB ring in gold or silver anchors the design with a precise, sculptural accent. Generous inside, with an inner pocket for phone and valuables.

Handmade in our German atelier, the ARCH Woven unites material innovation with hours of meticulous handwork.

The atelier

Crafted by artisans

ARCH WOVEN is entirely handcrafted in Germany. Each product takes hours to complete and is made responsibly, combining traditional methods of crafting leather goods with sustainable, vegan materials.

When we say handcrafted, we mean one person at a table, not a line. Using traditional tools and years of experience in crafting long-lasting leather goods.

INTRECCIATO - WOVEN BY HAND

Every ARCH Woven is interlaced strip by strip in our atelier in Germany. No two weaves are identical: each crossing carries the rhythm of the hands that made it.

TEXTURE IN MOTION

The woven surface adds depth to the soft, rounded silhouette. Light plays across the surface, and the bag softens and settles further with every wear.

POWERED BY NATURE

Woven from INNOVERA™ vegan suede, a next-generation vegan material with a velvety hand feel and the strength to hold a weave. This progressive material significantly reduces emissions, while having the same handfeel and strength suede is known for.

ANCHORED IN DETAIL

A custom MB ring in gold or silver accentuates the handle and sets a precise, sculptural contrast to the softness of the weave. Perfect to attach your favorite bag charms and make the bag uniquely yours.

Is your packaging sustainable?
