Origin

Material provenance

Genuine yak leather from the Sacred Mountain Ranch in Caramel and Field Brown. Yak leather is uniquely suited for sculptural work due to its thickness and ability to hold shape. The leather is vegetable-tanned and finished to enhance its natural character.

Technique

Craft process

The 3D yak shape is hand-sculpted from multiple pieces of yak leather, stitched together to create the distinctive form. Each bag requires advanced leather-working skills to achieve the three-dimensional shape. Available in hard leather (structured) and soft leather (supple) versions. Each bag takes 6-7 days to complete.

Intent

Design logic

The Handmade 3D Yak Bag is a sculptural piece that celebrates the yak - the iconic animal of the Tibetan plateau. The bag transforms a functional object into art while maintaining utility. The hard and soft versions offer different aesthetic and functional experiences, allowing the user to choose their preferred expression.
