about pokit bags
Dedicated to modern living, the technology we use and the commutes we make, our products are versatile and can be worn completely personally to each individual. Whether it’s across the body, on the back, around the waist, over shoulder, clutched or carried in-hand, thus, putting usefulness high on our agenda.
We have created the groundbreaking ‘3D’ concept increasing volume by introducing panels which create extra space ensuring simplicity through our minimal design with a respect for craft. Our products are supple, yet sturdy and robust, even indestructible.
The Capsule, our original design, is a compact and spacious cross body satchel with subtle fastenings and straps. The Capsule is not only still in production today, but we are still using our very first design, 20 years on, proof of the longevity of what we do.
our values
Each piece is performance tested over time, seeking out English craft techniques and materials best suited to our designs. Long lasting quality is in our DNA and sustainability begins from the first point of imagining, making sure what we design is always purposeful, long term and sits in our collections permanently. This has always been key to our vision.
Our bags aren't just fashion items, we pride ourselves on the timeless design of each bag; each intricacy is carefully considered. We use English premium materials and traditional craftsmanship. Each item is saddle stitched together with hand waxed bridle leather and traditional performance materials such as waterproof rubber bonded canvas and cast brass hardware.
We create and curate our collections through this strong belief and understanding of each design, meaning our collections are built up over many years, disobeying fashion's finite system of seasons.
our leathers
Besides the vegetable based dyes that we use exclusively there's no better, more sustainable and environmentally friendly way to treat leather than we do.
Our Tanners and Curriers, who we have partnered with for over 20 years have a newly built tannery where leathers are still worked by hand. It is a far cry from the leather vats of Marrakesh but continues to use what is in essence the same old/ancient processes and recipes without having to forego the latest technology and the latest standards.
Traditional leather finishing processes are combined with the use of EU approved environmentally safe finishing materials to ensure our leather is as sustainable as possible. This goes right down to the environmental controls of the effluent which is spot tested every month without any prior notice to ensure it can go back into the environment safely.
The same goes for all our trusted suppliers, partners and collaborators: accountability, sustainability and responsibility go hand in hand with traditional methods. We turn this into wallets and bags that will last forever and that in our eyes is the epitome of regeneration and sustainability.
