Ficción

A briefcase vanishes into the night. Was it the black one, the green one, or the brown? Did it glint with gold or silver details? It was too dark to tell. A belt pouch cinched at the waist hides a tape recorder—relics from a time before microchips. A bag, shaped like an old-school letterbox, carries a note: The job is done. A briefcase that transforms into a backpack—practical, sophisticated, and always ready for the escape.

This collection is a flashback to the detective novels of the past, where shadows moved in the fog and mystery lurked beneath upturned collars and low-brimmed hats. But it also looks forward—taking inspiration from the science fiction novels of the 1950s, stories that imagined the dystopias we sometimes feel we’re already living in.

Blending vintage luggage hardware with sharp, structured lines, these designs adapt to the body, embodying a timeless classic-futurist aesthetic. Each bag is named after an iconic science fiction character—Montag, Lenina Crowne, Jenkins, Captain Beatty—figures who questioned their worlds, lived between realities, and shaped the futures we now call present.

A collection suspended between past and future, fiction and reality.
