Keen On Bags

Year

2020

Welcome to my LAB! On this page I show an unique collection from my own Men’s Premium brand Keen on Bags. A good friend introduced me to some fabulous guys from Mongolia producing the most delicate knitwear I’ve ever seen. They explained it was made of Yak wool. Yaks are originally from Tibet, but were introduced to Mongolia by monks on their pilgrimages. They prefer the cold and have naturally developed moisture repellent wool that is incredibly warm. The first results are for sale on this site august this year. Be Keen, limited edition! On one of my trips to Asia I discovered this beautiful indigo Dyed leather. Indigo has been loved from ancient to modern times. The distinctive colour depth is obtained by repetition of staining and fixing. The process has been cultivated in Japan for hundreds of years. Indigo Dyed leather is extremely durable and made to last a lifetime. The material I use comes from a small traditional artisan factory guaranteeing the best possible quality. Expect the results august this year. And again…Be smart, be Keen, limited edition!
