A few days ago, I had dinner with two relatives visiting Hong Kong from Canada. They work in the garment industry and were discussing how AI and machines are increasingly replacing human labor in many jobs. One of them became quite animated, exclaiming, "If this continues, everyone will be unemployed!" She used down jackets as an example, explaining that down is a national treasure in Canada. High-quality goose down jackets are handcrafted, with processes like feather sorting and insertion done entirely by hand. This is why these down jackets are so high-quality, warm, and can last for decades. She mentioned that many American down jacket brands claim to be "Canadian Down," but if you look closely at the labels, they aren't actually Made in Canada 🤣

My relative also shared that factories are now using machines for many manual processes. While this speeds things up considerably, the quality inevitably declines. After all, a machine lacks the human touch and meticulous attention to detail.

The same applies to leather goods. In older leather pieces, you can still see the craftsmanship of hand-stitching, such as in the cutting of the materials. Nowadays, machines are used for a significant portion of the production.

But there's no need for regret. It's through fate that we encounter these vintage bags, allowing us to once again appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship of the last century 😆

Before each vintage handbag is sold, it undergoes a four-step restoration process by our professional leather artisans:
1) Cleaning and stain removal
2) Surface scratch repair
3) Hardware re-polishing
4) Leather conditioning cream application for restored luster
Restoration does not mean erasing all traces of time; our mission is to extend its historical narrative.
