Another year is coming to an end, but the legacy of our brass hardware lives on.

From melting and molding the brass in sand moulds to hand polishing our buckles, our fittings are painstakingly difficult to make. But our craftspeople make it seem effortless. When we moved to brass buckles from mass-produced zinc buckles, we went from 4 "workers" to 40 skilled craftsmen. Our brass buckles last forever, glowing as beautifully in our museum pieces as in the new bags.
