We’ve explained Sea Salt + Chambray, but what about EKLUND GRIFFIN?! Well, we’re going to let you in on a sneak peek… we’ve been busy!
The premier EKLUND GRIFFIN product line of leather bags is officially in the works. Every step and detail is important. So, we’ve been seeking out the highest quality American materials and craftsmen. I’ve done all the design and development right here in my studio, inspired by my Maine surroundings. The leather we’re using is vegetable tanned and comes from a company in Chi-town that will celebrate its 100th anniversary next year. (We’re already planning a birthday card… coming soon!) From there, we’re bringing our designs and materials to a great manufacturer in the heart of New York City’s Fashion District. We’re committed to our American Handmade brand and all our partners who help us offer you the best product possible!
While we cycle through designing, sampling, revising, improving, and handcrafting, we are constantly going back to our inspiration boards to make sure that we’re hitting the mark. Take a look!
See that orange twine heart? That came from Dad. On Valentine’s Day he wrapped up a note in that twine with the message, “Will you be my Valentwine?” It was the most brilliant Valentine I’ve gotten yet!
