Carry less.
Consider more.
Leather cases, hand-knotted bags and protective wraps. Our byThreads collection approaches everyday carrying through different materials and constructions, with simple access and minimal hardware. Journalcase combines full-grain leather, a clean body and a carrying handle, developed in 13- and 15-inch sizes and three colours.
Shouldercase
A rigid leather carrying case with a concealed magnetic closure.
Grannybag
A hand-knotted, body-following bag with a broad seat-belt shoulder strap.
The Natural
A natural-fibre laptop wrap that unfolds into a working surface.
Neoprene sleeve
A zipper-free sleeve with a closing mechanism developed for quick access.
Grannybag + Natural
A carrying bag and protective wrap designed to work together.
The original collection.
Journalcase, Naturalsleeve, Shouldercase, PP Sleeve, Grannybag and the first Project T sneaker. The collection was designed in Copenhagen and produced in Vietnam; it was sold through the byThreads online store.
Journalcase
A sleek, journal-sized case in seamless full-grain leather. Fits 10–15" notebooks.
Naturalsleeve
Natural fibres combined with modern protection. Fits all laptops from 10–15".
Shouldercase
A deceptively simple, stylish hip-hung carrying case for 13 & 15" notebooks.
PP Sleeve
Extremely sleek and elegant neoprene. No zippers, no scratches. Innovative closing mechanism.
Grannybag
Hand-knotted by grannies in Vietnam. Flexible and durable, and the grannies get a share of the product sales.
Full disclosure.
We were lucky to find a group of young entrepreneurs in Vietnam who think alike and understand the importance of quality control, workmanship, work atmosphere and respect for the employees. Our factory there is staffed with young skilled artisans who have learned the art they employ under some of the great artisans in Asia. Every product went through a lengthy development phase with them as co-pilots, and a trusted overseer at the factory took care of the quality and the environment in which the work was produced — safe & inspiring is the keyword we aimed for. Off-course Vietnam is not the same as a Parisian factory with workers busy stitching Chinese parts together to allow them to put a Made in France label on them (yes, we were surprised too).
