Structured tapestry tote with tan leather trim by Ingrid Chikazaza Chitekwe

Designed with
structure,
clarity & purpose.

Structured, elegant bag systems for women in leadership and the knowledge to build them.

Scroll

Every bag begins
with a question.

What does this woman need her bag to do?

That question has guided every piece Ingrid has made over nearly a decade. The answer shapes every seam, every pocket, every choice of hardware and cloth.

"The knowledge exists. It has simply never been gathered in one place."

Design studio workspace

What no school
teaches together
until now.

Design programs don't teach pattern making. Pattern making courses don't address manufacturing. Manufacturing knowledge doesn't include brand strategy. Ingrid learned all of it and built a curriculum so the next generation doesn't have to piece it together alone.

Enter the Studio

Design

Bags built from first principles. Structure and beauty as a single decision.

For designers and makers ready to move from practice to profession.

The work is here.
So is the knowledge.

Come for the bags. Stay for what they teach you.
