The Juho Bag: the story behind our signature leather bag

Model carrying the Taus Juho Bag, an oversized black leather shoulder bag with eyelet belt

The Juho Bag began as a bag for one person. Freyja made it for Juho, who needed something practical for everyday life, for travelling and for going out. We have both worn ours every day since, and it has become the one piece we bring back season after season.

The design

The Juho Bag is an oversized leather bag with an adjustable shoulder strap, two exterior pockets and a roomy interior. A cinching belt with eyelets runs around it, so you can pull it in and shape it the way you want to wear it.

It comes in two sizes. The Juho Bag is the original, large enough for a day that turns into an evening or a weekend away. The Juho Bag Small keeps the same lines, with an interior pocket.

How it is made

Unlike our garments, which are made to order in our Copenhagen studio, the Juho Bag is produced in small, limited runs in Italy by leather artisans. It is made from deadstock leather, surplus leather that already exists, so the leather can vary slightly from bag to bag.

Living with it

Leather softens and shapes itself to how it is carried. Air it away from direct sunlight and heat, and condition it now and then to keep it supple. Our care guide has more, and our complimentary repairs are there if it ever needs attention.
