The Process
Hook and line fishing in the Turkish Aegean during spawning season for maximum invasion impact. Zero bycatch. Each skin traceable to its small-scale fisher.
Preserved onboard with natural lake salt. No chemicals. No delay.
Eighteen months of proprietary tanning, developed with a master tanner. Forty years of leather expertise behind every skin.
Designed and hand-sewn with thick waxed thread in our Fethiye atelier. Double-stitched for extra-long wear. All natural. No plastics. All one of one.
Packed. Shipped. Opened. From sea to street.
Natural materials age with you. Leave your marks on it proudly. Condition lightly once a year with a natural leather balm. Wears in, not out. We celebrate a marked patina over time, unlike the Korean skincare craze.
“I studied thousands of pufferfish before we made bags.
This is our solution to the problem.
