A bag for life, literally

Our repair desk restores 3,000 bags a year — some of them older than their owners.

Every VELLUM bag is numbered. When one comes back, we open its file: who made it, which skin, which thread.

Handles are re-rolled, corners re-stitched, the leather fed and polished. Then it goes home for another thirty years.

“A bag should outlive the person who bought it.”
