The Last Bag - anatomy of a great craft

Piet Breinholm from The Last Bag, Copenhagen and CODE Magazine/Toko from Amsterdam came together for a colab and I travelled to Vejle to document the making-of. The actual bag is still not finished but I heard some great stories and saw parts of the process. A few tweaks and new color-ways but it remains true to its core: A bag (hand)made for life using the best leathers and methods from when your granddad was still drinking milk.
