Enjoy the Deep Character and Texture That Develops with Use
J. Panther Luggage Co. ® aims to create bags that blend innovative, functional details with influences from traditional manufacturing methods. Based on the brand concept of “respecting classic design while evolving it to suit modern lifestyles,” the bags are designed in New York, undergo rigorous functional testing, and are crafted in an artisan workshop in New England, where high-end luxury bags have been produced for many years.
J.P.L.C. ® products feature designs that incorporate functional and evolved details, both inside and out, to meet the diverse needs of modern lifestyles, while employing traditional American manufacturing methods from before the 1960s. For example, the unique 'the ruc tote' is a 3-way type that can be carried as a shoulder bag, a handbag, or a backpack, with a design that is both simple and easy to use.
The water-resistant leather used by J.P.L.C. ® is tanned and finished at the Horween tannery in the United States. The canvas is imported from Scotland. The fabric is 21-ounce, industrial-strength material used by the British military and several other national armies. 21-ounce canvas is rarely used for bag materials; it is wax-finished for a tough, durable result capable of withstanding harsh weather and demanding conditions.
