UM

UMs developed from two creative challenges: The first, to make use of the unique properties of pressed wool felt — its density, texture, pliability, and strength. And The second, to transform a flat surface into a volume using only the simplest of operations.

UMs come in one quintessential color: gray. That’s because they’re sewn from two layers of industrial wool felt made from factory excess. As a natural material that might otherwise go to waste, most would consider it eco-friendly.

UMs come in 4 shapes: TOTE, CARRY, CLUTCH, and HOLD, and 4 zipper colors: blue, gray, green, and orange. When unzipped, UMs lay completely flat for dry cleaning and easy storage — not to mention extremely efficient shipping. When zipped, they become inspired forms with inherent functionality. All UMs are cut and sewn in the San Francisco Bay Area.
