The à New York: A Canvas Tote, Made in France, Named for a City

Some bags announce themselves. The à New York is not one of them. It is the house’s most relaxed piece — a canvas tote built for weekends away, coastal mornings, and the unhurried business of an ordinary day.

Natural canvas, undyed calfskin

The à New York is the ultimate everyday tote in natural cotton canvas, made start to finish by a single artisan in France. The handles and trim are cut from undyed, full-grain calfskin — left in its natural state to age and deepen with wear. There is no coating to crack, no dye to fade. The leather simply becomes more itself with every outing.

Named for a city

We photographed the à New York where it belongs: in SoHo, down Green Street and Grand, past the cast-iron facades and fire escapes. A Swiss object, entirely at ease in an American city — which is, after all, the point of a bag named for New York.

Ready when you are

Where our made-to-order handbags are begun for you and take three to four weeks, the à New York ships within 10 days. It comes in a growing range of canvas colourways — Beurre, a warm natural, Indigo and Saddle Brown among them — and sits under $1,000.

A Swiss house, made in France. Born in Bern, made to accompany a lifetime.
