Tuva in veg tan To***co Buttero 🪡 Veg tan is famous for its aging — for developing unique patina, oily edges, and gathering the marks of the owner's life story. Can you imagine how beautiful it’ll look after some time? 🥰

• it’s super lightweight,
• but holds the shape effortlessly (the leather’s temper and construction are helping with that)
• the short strap is detachable
🪡 handcrafted in San Francisco, as always.

This Tuva was part of the Fairy Day Off collection for Khelman Studio's debut at Paris Fashion Week and available on khelman.com

Have a great bag!
Ksenia and Joy 🐈‍⬛

P.s. I have not made bags in the veg tan leather often but it’s going to change (and it’s a big part of the studio update too! My Gosh, I’m so excited, hope you’ll love it 🥰)

I’m so grateful for your orders, truly.
At the same time, I realized that almost everything you see here (except Fairy Day Off) was created about 5-6 years ago. And lately, most of what I make are vintage brown Borlas and Demilunes.
I love them — they’re such a big part of my story, and it means a lot that you still love them too. But I also feel ready for something new.

I want to bring in new colors, new designs, and give the studio a little fresh air. And right now, I don’t even have the time to create these pieces in other variations — and it tells me it’s time to pause and reset.
So I’m taking a small break from custom orders from April 16 to June 1 to focus on what’s next.
I really believe this little “vacation” will be good for everyone 🩵
Thank you so much for your understanding and for being here with me.

🩵 All ready to go will be available to be shipped as they are,
🩵 If you’ve been thinking to get a certain Khelman design from me for a long time maybe it’s time because some of the designs might go 🫶

With love,

Color accent! Purple shades are very versatile family, don’t you think?

Borla bag in the purple cow suede (I don’t use exotics), and the earthy waves lining inside.

As always:
• handmade in San Francisco,
• you’re welcome to pick any other lining and customize the pockets — it’s my pleasure to make it a perfect fit for you.

One of my favorite bags to make — a duffle doctor bag inspired by the What’s Up, Doc? movie!

Most likely coming: I do love the frame part, but also thinking to make it with a zipper top, so it’ll be like a large carry on, and also make it a bit smaller so it’d work for everyday too — let me know please what you think? 🙌
