Outdoor brand Arc’teryx launches leathergoods collection

06/12/2017
Canadian outdoor brand Arc’teryx has launched its first ever leathergoods collection, offering a card-wallet, a bill-fold and a passport-holder under its Veilance menswear range.

Arc’teryx said at the time of the launch that it has been working on the designs since February 2016 and tried its design ideas with 30 different materials before settling on leather.

“By taking a traditional material and combining it with progressive technologies and ideas, we’ve created a collection that changes expectations of how leathergoods can look and function,” the company claims. “The exceptionally slim but strong wallets are the result of the innovative construction method we developed, where we laminate rather than stitch the leather.”

The leather Arc’teryx has chosen to use comes from Chicago-based Horween Leather.
