FABRIC + CARE
When not in use, fill the bag lightly with tissue to help retain its shape. Store in a cotton dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Leather changes with time. Through handling and everyday wear, the surface will soften, develop a patina, and take on subtle marks of use. These changes are part of the natural life of the material and make each bag its own.
ARE STUDIO is a Los Angeles-based company specializing in leather bags and limited edition clothing collections, offering daily-wear pieces with a timeless and understated approach since 2016. Our accessories take on the personality of the wearer — over time, each piece becomes a unique record of a life well-lived.
Our name is inspired by the plural and present tense of the verb “to be,” and this is how our pieces are meant to be experienced — in motion, in the moment, a way to express ourselves and show others who we are.
Founder, Cecilia Bordarampé sketches every design by hand, having a personal touch throughout all steps of the process. She works closely with our leather craftsman, located only a short mile from our downtown studio. We are proud to have worked with the same family-owned manufacturer since 2015.
