Yes, the Man HALM Bag Is a Hot Accessory!
Worn on the shoulder or cross-body, these mini-bags are trending this season
Man cannot live by a tote or backpack alone!
And stuffing our pockets with cellphones, cables and AirPods, lip balm starts to get unwieldy, especially during the global pandemic
Enter the petite man bag, but don’t call it a “murse” (a portmanteau from “man purse”). It’s a fashion version of the bag that Indiana Jones wore under his leather jacket
Founded in Dubai in 2017 by Swedish Creative Director Hanna Ransjo, later joined by English design & project manager, Hannah Louise Brewer, the Halm Studio is located in D3 in Dubai, and the HALM Atelier in Jumeirah is where the Swedish-English design duo reside along with a small dedicated core team. HALM orchestrate all aspects of the design process, from initial inspiration to delivery; working and developing mood boards, designs, prototyping, branding, packaging, creative content, photoshoots, instagram, website and everything else in between. This is really where everything ‘HALM’ happens, from the creatives to business and operations.
Each and every HALM bag is a numbered and signed limited edition piece. Timeless quality and functionality are the core of HALM, complimented by distinct Scandinavian aesthetics and design, relaxed understated luxe, and a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’. Each silhouette has been specifically designed to embrace the beauty and characteristics of 100% genuine leather and its unique natural grain. We celebrate artisanal skill and true craftsmanship at every stage of the process using the finest Italian, French + Swiss components, all personally sourced, selected + refined by the design duo for the making of every HALM bag.
“Having been brought up with the approach that you should try to buy the highest quality you can afford and invest in timeless pieces, I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for – the right combination of function, visuals, feel, materials, process, and origins involved in making a bag…‘What, Where and How’ is so important to us. After years of research, design development, learning the trade (and buying and dissecting a lot of handbags!)
HALM came about as a limited edition line of luxury genuine leather bags.” Hanna Ransjö (Founder + Creative Director)
Sustainability + slow fashion through timeless quality + conscious designing is the very ethos of HALM. Through not cutting corners in any part of the process, and by selecting materials of the highest quality the HALM aim is to advocate a mindset of treasuring what you have, resist the desire to buy fast fashion but acquire quality that lasts – encouraging a ‘buy less – wear more mentality’
