We love our bags, but we love the people we work with even more!
We work with local companies, because we strongly believe in this type of production. It shortens the chain and you can experience the whole production process from nearby. Another advantage of keeping it local is the flexibility. We just produce what we need.
Flagbag
Flagbag is a Belgian upcycling project. Besides upcycling they also provide education and work opportunities for people who have dificulties in finding their place in the job market despite the fact that they have plenty of talent.
The lovely people of Flagbag produce our bags.

Tailored to your needs
Because our production is local and artisanal, your bag can be easily adapted to your needs. The standard length of the shoulder straps is 63cm. We can create a bag adapted to the length you want at no additional cost to you. More information or other wishes, please let us know.
Sustainability
High quality fabrics and leather
We only use premium materials
Leather
We use high quality leather, which we buy from a small local company. All our leather is handcut. So when you wear your Emma Martin bag, the straps around your shoulder are cut out by someone very passionate about his work. After the cutting, we laser the borders.
Fabrics
The linings of our bags are made of plain cotton, with the Oeko-tex 100 label, meaning it doesn’t contain any harming raw materials.
The outer fabric is called Harris Tweed®: a traditional cloth made of 100% Pure New Wool that is dyed, blended, carded, spun, warped, woven, finished only in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides.
every bit matters
From the leftovers of the fabric and leather we make all sorts of accessories.
