Putting leather to the test.

We're putting leather to the test

Hey there, I have an update on our upcoming collection.

We've finally locked in a full grain leather that hits our non-negotiable criteria. The leather we've chosen to work with is rich and supple, with a beautiful natural grain. It feels rugged, yet refined.

The only one thing I love more than the feel of this material is the smell. Whenever I pick up a leather bag I can't help but deeply inhale the scent. I wish I could share the smell of these bags with you right now.

Scent is the strongest sense tied to memory. These bags take me back to my old gym. Where we trained with leather speed balls and well-worn heavy bags, echoing the riffs from Eye of the Tiger as we dreamed of our own Rocky Balboa training montages.

However, the scent isn't the reason for deciding on this particular leather. Quality is always our main priority. We've crafted a collection that will wear in, not out.

Throughout the construction phase we have been putting these bags through serious testing and nit-picking every single detail to ensure the material and construction show no weak points.

After much iteration and testing, we are confident these bags will stand the test of time. I envision these bags as a legacy that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Which is why we won't be mass producing these bags in the way we have with past King Kong collections. Once ready for release, these will be crafted in small batches, created with the utmost attention to detail.

If you're interested in joining the waitlist for this release or have any questions about the collection, please email me at stefan@kingkongapparel.com.

Otherwise, stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
