Design Process - From Sketch to PURE Leather Bag
Every PURE leather bag begins with a question about the essentials. Our design process brings function, material expertise and clear aesthetics together into long-lasting products with substance. Reduction, proportion and material shape every decision - from the first sketch to the finished bag.

Design with principle
Our products are not made for one season, but for many years of use. Form follows function; visual calm comes from deliberate reduction.
Reduction as a design principle
Reduction means precision. Every line, seam and construction detail has a clear purpose and supports everyday practicality and visual clarity.
Material as the starting point
The design begins with the choice of leather. We use vegetable-tanned, open-pored cowhide leather whose structure, firmness and patina development shape proportion and construction.
The material acts as a load-bearing element of the design.
Colours with lasting relevance
Our colour palette follows no short-lived fashion. Nuanced tones such as Cognac, Chocolate, Midnight Black, Forest Green, Royal Blue, Burgundy and Lavender support the pared-back design language.
Sketch, prototype and everyday testing
From hand sketch to prototypes to everyday testing, every model passes through several stages of development. Function, access and carrying comfort are tested in real use.
Development in Munich
Our designs are created in Munich by a focused team. Rather than extensive collections, we develop a few considered models with a clear function.
Form, function and responsibility
A PURE bag is the result of deliberate design and careful development. Clarity in design comes together with responsible use of materials and long-lasting construction.
Products with substance - for people who value quality over logos.
