During NYCxDesign 2026, local luxury handbag brand Eittem invites visitors into its New York studio to explore its collections and meet the makers behind them.

The bags are carved from salvaged American walnut wood, with weeks spent handmaking each piece.

By booking an appointment, visitors can gain an insight into the process behind each design, from initial sketches to digital plans, followed by hand sanding, finishing and assembly.

Eittem Open Studio takes place from 11:00am to 5:00pm on 14 May 2026 at Eittem Atelier, The Starrett-Lehigh Building, 601 West 26th Street, M256, New York City, New York 10001, USA.
