A new bag house from Manila. Considered silhouettes, honest materials, and a refusal to make more than we should.

The atelier

Hand-cut, hand-finished, in Marikina.

Every Bae bag spends 14 hours in the hands of one of seven artisans. We work in small batches because that's the only way to make something that gets better with use.

The leather is Italian, vegetable-tanned. The hardware is solid brass, cast in Pampanga. The abaca strap is hand-woven in Cebu.

Materials

Honest things, honestly named.

01

Italian calfskin

From Tuscany

Vegetable-tanned. Softens with use.

02

Solid brass

From Pampanga

Cast hardware. Patinas to a warm bronze.

03

Hand-woven abaca

From Cebu

From banana leaf fiber. Stronger than hemp.

04

Suede lining

From Marikina

Soft to the touch. Quietly luxurious.

Press

A new vocabulary for Filipino luxury.

Vogue Philippines

Quietly making the case for buying less, but better.

Tatler Asia

An object lesson in restraint.

From the people who carry them
Camille R.

I've carried my Selene every day for six months. It's only gotten more beautiful.

Camille R. · Makati

The first bag I've owned that feels like an heirloom in the making.

I love that it's quietly Filipino. You feel it in the materials, not the marketing.

One letter a season. Materials, makers, and what we're working on. No noise.
