This wooden, leather, and canvas trunk crossbody is a piece that’s been living in my head for a long time before it ever became real. It started as a concept I kept revisiting—something I knew I had to make. Every part of it is handcrafted like all my pieces, from the woodworking to the stone-oiled leather bumpers, and even the fabric pattern, which I designed in Photoshop and had printed on canvas.

The brass hardware gives it that nostalgic touch, echoing the vintage travel gear that inspired it. I created this at a time where the feeling of wanting to be somewhere became followed me daily. This piece captures that feeling: the longing to leave, the beauty of the travel, and that there is not much you really need other than few personal items that can fit into this piece. I’m deeply proud of how it turned out. It’s more than a bag it’s a symbol of freedom.
