Function deserves beauty
- • Joost's skills were perfected with masters Francois Dumas and Michael Marriot
- • Cuir bouilli is one of his favourite techniques
- • He has been granted the Leather Sellers Award for three years in a row
Dutch born Joost Pasmam fell in love with leather while studying Product Design at the University of Applied Science in Amsterdam when, during his internship with Francois Dumas, he was asked to source the leather component for a chair Dumas was designing. At the time he had no idea how leather was really made, so when he was sent to the biggest leather merchant in The Netherlands and “walked into this massive warehouse full of leather, organised by all the different sizes, colours and textures”, his jaw dropped. Something sparked at that moment, because on the way home, he knew he wanted to make something with this material. A few years later, he moved to London and what started as a passion is now a very successful enterprise.

Large Commuter bag
The large Commuter rucksack has a vertical seam down the centre of the bag with two different colours either side of the seam (orange and cream). The large front pocket with zip and black binding also has a vertical centre seam. The colours are switched around which creates a chequered look. The bag is closed with a roll top and a G-clip closure and has black webbing straps. Made from waxed cotton and a natural cotton lining, this bag feels sturdy and is water resistant. A large, padded pocket inside holds space for a large laptop and the reinforced base increases its durability.
