Inspiration
The Craft and Forge leather collection by Mission Mercantile is historically inspired, drawing on unique inspiration found in the archives of Colonial Williamsburg. Details like antique closures, stamping, and clean lines influenced the design of each piece, which artisan makers in Mexico and Texas expertly crafted. A quote from Benjamin Franklin stamped inside connects the past to the future. Our expertly crafted antique-inspired bags unite vintage charm with modern minimalism.
