Frank Clegg x Dan Trepanier: “Heirlooms with Style”

Published on June 16th, 2012

About the Collection

As we documented here, legendary American leather artisan Frank Clegg and I teamed up to put together “Heirlooms with Style” – a collection of leather bags and accessories designed to make an elegant statement and crafted to last a lifetime.

Teaming up with Frank was a no-brainer. I own one of his signature duffles and it’s easily my favorite bag. Like me, he truly loves his craft and is always looking for ways to improve, which is evident in the world-class products he’s been hand-making in his Falls River Massachusetts workshop for over 35 years.

For this collaboration we set out to create ten essential lifestyle pieces at different price points so that each TSB reader would have a chance to add a beautiful, limited edited piece to their wardrobe. The collection centers around Frank’s shrunken leather – a rare vegetable tanned leather that is allowed to shrink naturally during the drying process, giving it a very unique and luxurious texture.

Each piece in the collection is available in three colors – black, chocolate and chestnut – and will be hand-made by Frank in his Massachusetts workshop upon ordering. Expect 2-4 weeks for delivery, depending on the item.
