DESIGNED TO LAST A PRODUCTION JOURNEY

Practicality and clean lines is our formula for creating timeless classics meant to last and accompany its owner for years, regardless of trends. We take into careful consideration the usability of our design. Making sure it is practical and can be easily used in daily life. From commuting to work or flying to your next holiday destination - the goal of our products is to add an element of ease to all that you do.  

When designing a bag, we always focus on the raw material. Both leather and canvas are rich in history and heritage. They have been used for centuries as protective materials because of their robust nature. Today they are a symbol of quality and craftsmanship. We pay tribute to the raw material by using a finishing process that preserves its raw aesthetic, allowing its natural attributes to shine.

We are constantly reflecting on our processes in order to evolve. We believe that obtaining a level of quality is a continuous effort. We are developing strong partnerships with our suppliers because it is vital for us to know where each element of our bags comes from. 

Trust is a vital element when it comes to nurturing a secure relationship with suppliers. We visit our production factories every 2-3 months, to check in on productions and spend time with the team. Our workers in Pakistan all receive guaranteed working contracts with social protection, a salary more than double the minimum wage, and at least 35% higher than the average industry income in the region. They also receive a monthly bonus based on overall quality. The working conditions in the ateliers are set at international standards with an abundance of windows for natural light, AC, and access to fresh water at all time.

Before the Buckle & Seam adventure started, our founders spent a year in Pakistan, working for an e-commerce company recently sold to Alibaba. We discovered the quality of the raw material (especially from the North of Pakistan) and developed relationships with talented craftsmen in Karachi. We saw the opportunity to not only use, but also promote these know-how.

Pakistan deserves to be acknowledged for its talents.  

Most of the leather goods sold in the Western world are produced in the Indian subcontinent (Pakistan, Bangladesh, India). Few brands actually communicate this fact with their customers. Considering our standards, the quality of the material and our high skilled workers, we are proud to communicate openly about our Pakistani production. Pakistan deserves to be acknowledged for its talents.
