My own concept, not a client

01 The brief

A small leather maker with four shapes cut from one hide.

The store needed to feel quiet and made by hand, so the bags do the talking. Fewer words, bigger photos, and the craft shown up close.

Pellan is a brand I made up to try ideas, so this is the brief I set myself.

02 The brand system

The Lune flap drawn as one stitched line, with the clasp below it. It works as the favicon and as a blind stamp on the dust bag.

Why it looks like this

  1. 1

    Big, calm photos and quiet type, so the bag does the talking.

  2. 2

    Shop by how you carry: four ways in, named after how people use a bag.

  3. 3

    Swatches under every bestseller show the leather colours before you click.
