PARK Bags stands at the intersection of modern minimalism and old-world craftsmanship. The story begins in Crete, where founder Matthias—an illustrator by training and part of the Maison Shift collective—was captivated by the ancient tanneries of Chania. Inspired by the raw beauty and enduring traditions of leatherwork, PARK was born to bridge the gap between contemporary design sensibilities and heritage techniques. Each PARK bag and accessory is a study in thoughtful restraint: clean lines, functional forms, and a focus on the natural character of vegetable-tanned leather. Every piece is made in close partnership with artisans in Greece and Switzerland, using ethically sourced materials and sustainable methods. The result? Durable, timeless designs that mature beautifully over years of use. PARK’s philosophy is rooted in integrity—fair wages, local production, and a genuine commitment to the people behind each product. The brand also collaborates with social organizations in Switzerland, supporting those in challenging situations and ensuring that every step of the process benefits both makers and customers. Repair, not replace, is a core promise: PARK offers complimentary in-house repairs, believing that the best products are made to last and be loved for a lifetime. Whether it’s a slouchy tote, a sleek crossbody, or a classic weekender, PARK Bags invites you to carry a piece of tradition—updated for today’s journeys.
