Why do some things stay with us, while others fade and end up getting replaced?

An object you reach for without thinking. One that's part of your life and gives something back.

Most things never get there. They arrive, they leave, and you don't notice either.

Quietly we've been trained out of attachment.
Overlit. Overstaged. You hold it and there's nothing there.

I put on a record. Slide it from the sleeve. Place it on the turntable. Brush the dust. Feel the tiny resistance when the needle catches the groove.
I could press play on my phone.

I make every bag myself. No outsourcing. First idea to last stitch.

I'm driven by the desire to be a better designer and craftsman. That's what I'm putting in the bag. Whether it gets there is for you to judge.

Geist is time spent making.

    KONTAKT



    Warum bleiben manche Dinge Teil unseres Lebens, während andere verblassen und irgendwann ersetzt werden?

    Ein Gegenstand, nach dem du ohne nachzudenken greifst. Einer, der zu dir gehört und etwas zurückgibt.

    Die meisten Dinge erreichen so einen Status nicht. Sie kommen, sie gehen, und du bekommst es nicht einmal mit.

    Unbemerkt haben wir die Fähigkeit zur Bindung verlernt.

    Ich lege eine Schallplatte auf. Ziehe sie aus der Hülle. Setze sie auf den Teller. Entferne Staub. Spüre den winzigen Widerstand, wenn die Nadel die Rille greift.
    Ich könnte auch Play auf dem Handy drücken.

    Ich mache jede Tasche selbst. Nichts wird ausgelagert. Von der ersten Skizze bis zum letzten Stich.

    Mich treibt der Wunsch, ein besserer Designer und Handwerker zu werden. Das ist ist, was ich in die Tasche gebe. Ob es ankommt, entscheidest du.

    Geist ist, sich Zeit dafür zu nehmen.

      JIRO CROSSBODY



      The JIRO* is almost a classic small sling bag, but with a lot more organisation.

      At first I made this crossbody bag for myself because I couldn't find anything that is practical and elegant at the same time.

      I wanted the perfect sized life companion for my phone, wallet, keys, earphones, my partners glasses, and a spot for passport sized documents.

      I didn’t want to use a zipper, so the JIRO uses a lid that closes with magnets to unlock one-hand-use.

      And, most importantly, I didn’t want things scratching against each other.

      So I ended up making something that is a phone sleeve separating two main compartments for whatever you wish to carry, a zipped pocket for that extra amount of security, and something like an envelope, perfect for glasses.

      I make the JIRO in two versions: a single color exterior and a two-tone shell.

      (*After the main character and aircraft designer in Miyazaki's film The Wind Rises. He wanted to build beautiful machines. The times he lived in decided what they were for.)
