Manifesto
“If a fitting cannot be unscrewed and replaced, it should not be on the bag.”
Story
Canton Hardware designs the buckle first and the bag around it. The studio casts its own brass in Guangzhou and machines its own closures, which is unusual at this scale and is the reason its bags can be repaired rather than replaced.
Designer
Wu Jian
