Altadena Works

Altadena Works is a Californian bag manufacturer that produces high quality goods made solely in the USA (quite rare in today’s outsourced world). This creative partnership employs simple and straightforward design to produce subtly luxurious bags. Altadena’s bags are constructed expertly for functionality and durability, using the highest quality materials including heavyweight Cordura ballistic fabric, military spec nylon webbing and leather custom ordered from Horween (one of America’s oldest tanneries). Altadena’s collaborators have channeled the outdoor equipment of the 1970’s, using a minimal design and slim profile.

These bags are beautifully constructed. Altadena employs seasoned American artisans with over 30 years experience. It is clear that this collaborative team has extremely high standards for their products and state that they don’t make anything they wouldn’t wear themselves.

I’m a massive advocate for small start-up brands, especially ones that produce products of this quality. The bags come in a range of unique styles and color schemes but my personal favorite is the 801 Teardrop Navy Oak pictured above.
