Technique and Construction

Meichi Peng's collection is designed with modern concept, but constructed with traditional hand stitching technique - a vital skill that has been so crucial in making top quality leathers goods. In facts, if it is done properly, a handmade good is much stronger than machine made and more importantly, it looks much better with age. The real challenge of design and develop each collection is really how to use this technique to create something that is so fresh, but timeless at the same time.

The construction of each bag is unique and critical. Each bag takes approximately 10-50 hours to complete, depending on the sizes and collections The exterior leather and interior lining are hand-constructed simultaneously with straight-line stitches showing on the outside and crossed stitches on the inside and the same constructions carry through the handles as well. This type of construction is rare to find because most of bags in this market are done separately and stitched together afterward. The inner details often do not get addressed enough, which I really like to change the conceptual thinking of that. The beauty of interior linings is just as important as exterior leathers. That, to me, is the true luxury.
