Traditional craftsmanship represents ancient wisdom accumulated in the historical past. It is such a shame that the industrialization pushed handcraft to near extinction. Makr Carry, a leather good label from Florida (U.S.), aims to strike a balance between modern technology and traditional craftsmanship. The Makr Design Studio, headed by Makr himself, works with professional craftsmen throughout the process — design, print, production, wax, down to details such as buckles and straps. Each stage is completed fully to ensure the materialization of its original designs.

Tote bag, wallet and cardholder are the key items of Makr Carry Goods, with new additions camera bag and iPhone sleeves. All limited editions, the design and quality of each item is guaranteed. It is worth noting that its pre-production remains to be hand-painted — a true labour of love. This practice is a reflection of Mark Carry Goods’s respect and admiration for traditional craftsmanship.
