About DA26 Arch Laukku

DA26 Arch on kompakti unisex-laukku, joka on suunniteltu sekä arkiseen että juhlavaan käyttöön. Laukussa on vaihdettavat hihnat, ja sitä voi kantaa kädessä, olalla tai poikittain vartalon yli. Erikoisvalmistustekniikka piilottaa suurimman osan ompeleista, mikä luo puhtaat pinnat säilyttäen samalla näkyvien ompeleiden lujuuden ja kestävyyden. Muoto ammentaa inspiraationsa arkkitehtonisista piirteistä. Laukku on taitavien käsityöläisten valmistama nahasta ja kampakudotusta twill-kankaasta. Koko on 23,5 x 15,2 x 7 senttimetriä ja paino 395 grammaa.
