DRAGON DIFFUSION

At the heart of Dragon Diffusion's history is an insatiable curiosity that drives them to transpose techniques from various fields to leather. Inspired by the pragmatic intelligence of craftsman-creators, their designs echo the hand-woven bags traditionally made from vegetable fibers, used daily as practical carry bags in indigenous communities across islands, atolls, and remote coastal areas. These basket bags can be found in nearly every country in the world.

From the South Pacific Islands and New Zealand Tribal Kit bags to the exquisite Japanese craft of Bamboo Basketry and the refined Wicker Paniers & Baskets from France and the UK, all of these traditions have influenced their craft of leather weaving. Their unique technique of coloring undyed crust leather straps with natural vegetable dyes adds to the authenticity of each piece. Handwoven by skilled artisans, the bags also feature a hand-sewn antiqued St. Christopher medal charm, honoring the patron saint of travelers. Over time, each bag develops a distinct patina, enhancing its character and ensuring that every handcrafted item tells its own story.
