Natural character
Small variations in leather surfaces help each piece carry its own character instead of looking entirely uniform and machine-made.
SOULBYCHI / MATERIAL NOTES
Texture, where character begins.
Every material has its own surface, feel and appearance that develops over time.
HANDCRAFTED / SOULBYCHI
Material is more than a surface.
It shapes a bag's appearance, its feel in the hand and the character it develops over time.
Soft contrast
With its matte, textured surface, suede creates a soft visual contrast to leather's more defined lines.
Lightness and rhythm
In some designs, textiles used alongside leather balance the weight and character of the form.
Small but defining
Connections, buckles and metal details provide the design's finishing accents.
