BUKVY

Stockholm based Bukvy was founded by Joanna Bark and Elena Ekström in 2015. It started with an idea of the ultimate bag. One bag in many forms, evolving as life does. Two friends with jobs on the run, living apart relationships, nights out, many activities in one day and too many things to carry. Two friends with bags, backpacks, totes and clutches to fit their daily belongings: computer, sketch block, wallet, lunch box, gym clothes, keys, books, snacks, glasses, phone, clothes and so on. Knowing each other already as kids, they dreamed about making the ultimate escape and survival bag. It needed to float, contain milkshake, fit life in space and hopefully a best friend. They say: "Today our dreams are still big but in new ways. From what started as a longing to be on the run, a desire to be free and the satisfaction of knowing where your belongings are ended up in a life project. It has taken years of construction, discussion, craftsmanship and testing to get to the final result and it is with great pride we are giving you our ultimate bags. It is a small and focused collection made to simplify and organize the daily life of urban people through a combination of function and aesthetics." All Bukvy items are made by hand and ethically produced in our carefully chosen studio in Porto, Portugal where people work under good conditions.
