Lommé Bags


Established in 2009 and based in Denmark, lommé bags are handcrafted by two designers in Copenhagen.  The bags are made from coated canvas that is water-proof and treated with oils so that they age well.  Each bag is made by skilled designers and they pride themselves that "each bag is unique, just like its owner."  They were recently featured in Danish Elle and for good reason!  These bags are hot and I am now a huge fan!  I can't wait until these bags pick up steam in the US.
