Honesty through quality
Story
NORDIC DISTRICT offers handcrafted leather goods made in Copenhagen, Denmark. The name 'NORDIC DISTRICT' reflects the geographical area of Copenhagen where the workshop is located and the products crafted. The streets in the area were named after Norse gods in the 1860's and that tradition is continued in the products of NORDIC DISTRICT.
Values
Designed and produced with a minimalist aesthetic and a deep-held care for quality and construction. The products of NORDIC DISTRICT are crafted with materials to last and to reflect the wear and tear of the owner. As such, buying and owning a NORDIC DISTRICT product is an active stance against the throw-away society - these are products that will stay with you for a very long time and become affectionate objects for their owners.
Process
The products are meticulously and purposely crafted by hand to ensure the highest quality and durability to a level that cannot be replicated by industrial machine production. Every process in the production of my goods is performed by hand - from cutting, sewing to the finishing process, which includes a thorough process of smoothening, buffing and polishing the edges.
The traditional methods and craftsmanship utilized in the production has been around for many years but are in danger of being lost in my home country, Denmark - it is my goal to keep the craft alive and to bring objects and products of fine leatherworking to the highest possible level of quality.
Materials
All of my goods are handcrafted from the finest materials available. Whether it is goat skins or calf leathers from France, vegetable tanned leather from Italy or bridle leather from England, it is of utmost importance to ensure the highest quality of sourced materials used the production. This includes the tools used from Vergez Blanchard, the Fil au Chinois Lin Câblé linen threads from J. Toulemonde and edge paint from Stahl partners.
The vegetable tanned leather stems from first grade European cow side hides and are sourced from some of the best European suppliers. The leather sides are aniline and semi-aniline finished and retains the natural grain and offers unique markings, which will be visible on the goods - this will make each product unique and offer a lovely depth and dynamic to the surface skin. The natural leather will specifically darken and conform with use and develop a rich cognac brown color over the years.
It's my belief that the true appreciation of a quality product made with high quality leather has been for the few as most mass-produced leather goods utilizes lower quality leathers. I encourage everyone to experience the difference in quality in the leathers used. Low quality leathers will fade with time while high quality leathers age with grace.
Please note that majority of my products are made-to-order and estimated production & delivery time will be approximately 7-18 days.
If you're in Copenhagen, please visit Designkollektivet to see my products on display. The store is located close to the workshop on vivid Nørrebro.
