Of course we would never refute any customer request and voila - Slow Boat Gabry in lipstick red and vachetta trimmings
Trivia 101
Vachetta is raw calfhide which leaves a tanned patina after prolong usage and exposure to the sun. It is advised that users put their bags out in the sun occassionally to ensure that the patina deepens evenly after time
“I’d like to get you on a slow boat to China”
Slow Boat to China
Frank Loesser
Slow Boat to China is an old poker idiom popularised by Frank Loesser who turned it into a romantic song about a crooner’s intention to embark on a slow journey so that more time could be spent with the one being fancied.
Similarly with this cruise collection, we got our designers & artisans on a slow boat, in hope of creating a classic line that will continue to grow season after season. On this slow boat, oblivious of time constraints, faltering fads, and worldly wants, our team created an elegant and versatile line of tote bags. This is our endeavour to affirm our commitment to create meaningful, humane, and longlasting products so that they may be passed down from generation to generation….Welcome on board!
Trivia 101
01 Slow Boat was presented in Berlin as a cruise collection for 2011; it is also a collection which the team hopes would to present regularly season after season as a classic line of 72 Smalldive
02 The first collection was a mini collection of 2 large sized totes and a weekender. Gabry and Jean Cass are both shopping totes without zip openings, whislt Jean Cass Z is a large sized tote bag with a zip closure and may be used as a weekender
03 Grassata leather was used to give the items a rugged look until one fine day a client of ours asked if we could customized their orders with Vachetta leather…
It is intended to be an online catalogue of our collection since we launched the label.
