The brand is created by Zofia Chylak. She learned design at Proenza Schouler in New York, and at the atelier of Nicolas Caito, known as New York’s best patternmaker.

When designing a bag, you can’t only think about its appearance. Today, a bag is more than just a pretty accessory. It’s an object that you use, that should fulfill specific requirements. It’s important for me to combine form and function, so that every bag is practical and attractive. As well as both timeless and fashionable.
