The bag caught my eye, but the story caught my heart

Beautiful, right? It's by Portland based Kozha Numbers and its called The Utility. (But I have to wait for a bigger one because I'm ridiculous and carry 800 things with me every day)

But what I really like about this brand is the way it started - 2 girls...stuck in the corporate nightmare...wanting to get out - and the idea of these bags were born. Then they bought a sewing machine and spent a year or so researching materials and processes...and the bags were born.

Kozha Numbers evolved in to a brand through the founders (Ilona Gerasimov & Lena Vasilenko) admiration for art, architecture, material and form. (from their website)

Well done, ladies.
