FORM, FASHION & NARRATIVE

 

History is art.  

To be able to create a narrative around the items you own, allows the value of that watch or jacket to rise.  

The value begins to shift from the item itself to the memory it represents.  It's loaded with memories of your childhood or your grandparent’s childhood. 

My boys are sleeping in bunk beds that were my grandfathers and his brother.

Then my father and his brother,

And me and my brother. 

Now my sons love sleeping and playing on these bunk beds that are rich with story and meaning. Not only are these bunk beds meaningful because of the history they represent but they are made well.

They are simply built and designed to last many more generations.  

The merging of both quality and narrative significantly enhance the value of these beds.

At ColsenKeane, we believe our leather pieces are creating the same kind of form, function and story.  You might purchase one of our toiletry cases that your kids will use one day when they travel.  Or maybe that satchel you use to trek through the streets of NYC to go to the board meeting will be the same leather satchel your son uses while attending the university or beginning his new career.

Our desire is to create something that is highly practical yet turns heads.  We believe the longer you use this leather piece it becomes more valuable to you. 

Why? 

Because while you are making memoires, at your side sits the bag or sheath we made for you.

We take our work very seriously and count it a privilege to design leather goods that will be around long after we are gone making more memories with the ones we love.

Thank you for entrusting us with your leather needs.
