Das comes of it. When you search and search and search and still don’t want to find anything. At least not what one, more precisely: what Dimitrios Tsatsas had imagined. A bag, namely, timeless, classic and made of leather, in a quality that you can enjoy it for more than just one summer. So what to do? Whenever something is missing, not good enough or just too small, maybe out of the question for a man or made under conditions that you don’t want to support. The story that needs to be told is basically the story of a lack. An embarrassment, if you will, and perhaps that’s why it actually sounds too good to be true.
Viewed in the light of day, the solution is obvious: you simply get to work yourself. Because as an industrial designer, who Tsatsas was for the first time after studying at the Offenbach University of Design, you know best what you want, what you need and what you probably don’t, and because your own father happened to be known for decades Marken works with his fine bag maker.
