The shape of tomorrow, carried softly today.
A small independent house. Vegetable-tanned leathers chosen by the hide. Hardware cast, not pressed. Bags built around the rhythm of how women actually live.
The four essentials.
Every IFT Store bag begins as one of four shapes — refined over six seasons of small, deliberate change.

One workshop. Forty-three pairs of hands.
Each IFT Store bag is made in a single workshop, where every piece is cut, hand-stitched and finished by named artisans whose initials are stamped quietly inside.
We hold our production deliberately small. It means we can choose the best vegetable-tanned hides, refuse hardware that won't last a decade, and repair anything we make — for as long as you carry it.

Why we chose cast brass.
Notes on hardware, weight, and the small differences that decide whether a clasp will last fifteen years or three.
Repair is part of the design.
Every IFT Store piece is built to be returned to us, restitched, refinished and carried for another decade.
