KRANE BAGS

A new brand to Blackbird this season is Krane and from them, we have received these excellent bags. Our bag selection is made in a black waxed cotton outer with black stone-oiled leather trim.

"Krane is a contemporary mens fashion label founded in 2004 by Ken Chow - a graduate of the Menswear program at New York's F.I.T and who interned with Marc Jacobs and Alexandre Plokhov of Cloak. His designs also won him an opportunity to show in GenArt's prestigious international Design Competition.

Krane Design combines the practicality of vintage uniforms with details from modern industrial design in pursuit of forward, functional, innovative and individualistic everyday garments and accessories. Old school traditional tailoring techniques meet
technology and a new school stylistic design attitude in delivering essential items that acknowledge the thoughts and aspirations of the new contemporary man." (from the press info)

It can be carried with its leather shoulder pad and strap (that is detachable), or by its rolled hand-finished leather handle." (from the official website)
