PM/AM BAG

​

In the world of design, there exists a material that has stood the test of time, a material that has captured the essence of craftsmanship and elegance for generations – leather. For Christian Gafner, the love affair with leather ran deep, rooted in the memories of his Grandpa, a skilled shoemaker whose hands wove magic into every piece of leather he touched.

​

From those early days, Christian Gafner developed an appreciation for the simplicity of leather and the beauty of creating something truly functional and timeless. In a world where complexity often reigns supreme, he believed in the power of simplicity. The idea that a bag should serve a purpose and nothing more, that it should be a companion for an overnight stay or a quick maneuver through the bustling chaos of airports and cities.

​

This belief gave birth to the PM/AM bag®, a design that embodied the essence of simplicity and functionality. But Christian Gafner didn't stop there; he understood that in a world increasingly aware of environmental concerns, the materials used in his designs had to align with his values.

That's where sustainable eco-leather came into play. Handmade in Switzerland, the PM/AM bag® was not just a bag; it was a testament to the harmony of design and sustainability. It was a collaboration with Tanja Klein, a partnership that brought together their shared vision of creating something beautiful, functional, and eco-conscious.

​

As the PM/AM bag® came to life, it wasn't just a product; it was a statement. A statement that simplicity could be elegant, that functionality could be beautiful, and that sustainability could be at the core of design.

Pre-orders for the PM/AM bag® were a testament to the resonance of this idea. They flowed in via Christian's email, a sign that there were others out there who believed in the power of simplicity, in the allure of handmade craftsmanship, and in the importance of sustainable choices.

​

In the end, the PM/AM bag® was more than just a bag; it was a reflection of Christian Gafner's journey, from the shoemaker's grandson to the visionary product designer. It was a celebration of the love for leather and the belief that sometimes, making things simpler is harder than adding complexity.

​

Cooperating with Tanja Klein from Kleinbasel in Basel, the PM/AM bag® was a masterpiece of the best leather, sustainability, and the enduring allure of simple, purposeful design. It was a bag for those who believed that in the midst of life's complexities, elegance could be found in the simplest of things.
