Harold's

In July 1999, a man visited me. He was passing through. Mid-fifties, adventurer type. He had come to show me his bag. An intact leather Harold's bag, one of the first models we made in Colombia. The bag had accompanied him on his travels around the world for the last 15 years. The leather had a unique patina. For the man, the bag seemed to tell the stories of his travels.

We had this model still unchanged in the range. Since his first bag should serve him as a souvenir, the man bought it a second time. It was not yet so unique, but that would change again in the course of the upcoming trips, he said. This encounter formed my vision of Harold's: to conceive bags sustainably, to design them timelessly and to produce them with the best craftsmanship.
