We’ve all had that familiar struggle – the quest for the perfect bag as we gear up for outings, dinners, shopping trips, meetups with friends, movies, or concert dates. Often, we find ourselves settling for one that, unfortunately, may be a bit too cumbersome or simply doesn’t go with the occasion.

Crafted from veg-tanned leather, PlayBloc is a timeless classic and a canvas that embodies your style. It’s that one bag that’ll get you through any occasion, any style.

Embrace the ever-evolving beauty and carry a bag that is as dynamic as your own narrative. Witness the allure of transformation as PlayBloc ages with grace. The veg-tanned leather evolves with the passage of time, acquiring a patina unique to your journey.

An architectural marvel fashioned into a flawless cube, PlayBloc not only captivates the eyes but also delivers exceptional convenience in everyday use. The ingenious cuboid design maximizes the capacity of PlayBloc, all within a compact size tailored to the needs of everyday carry.

Choosing the ideal bag for the day has always been a trade-off between size and convenience. It often leads to us stashing extra items into our pockets that won’t fit in the small, easy-to-carry bag, or carrying around unnecessary weight of a big, fit-all bag with extra space that we simply don’t need. No more trade-off with PlayBloc, which is sized perfectly to fit in your everyday essentials without any wasted space.

Designed to suit diverse preferences, PlayBloc is offered in two sizes—Petite and Grande—for even greater compatibility with all your life adventures. The Petite bag, despite its compact size, fits in all your essentials—phone, keys, power bank, wallet, earphones, and more. 

Its portability makes it a delight to carry on a coffee date, a sporty adventure, or any journey. Just slip it on your shoulder and get ready to venture!

The Grande bag offers even more space within an equally compact size. Got a long day ahead? No problem, Grande has all your needs for the day covered.

Grande isn’t just any bag. It’s one that will get you through any occasion, from formal to casual, from work, school, to leisure.

Take advantage of the additional interior pocket at the back to keep everything extra organized.

No more rummaging or fumbling through your stuff. The cube structure offers an expansive view into the bag, making everything readily available to you the moment you open it.

The structure of the bag and the support offered by the veg-tanned leather act as a guardian for your belongings, ensuring that every item stays upright and securely in place even when you’re constantly on the move. Experience a seamless blend of style and functionality, where the bag becomes an unyielding shield for your essentials.

Experience the unparalleled lightweight advantage of PlayBloc. Without the strap, the Petite bag weighs only 269g—just 29g more than an iPhone 14 Pro Max—and the Grande bag weighs a mere 380g. This featherlight design ensures you a burden-free journey every time you carry PlayBloc with you.

Handcrafted with sustainable veg-tanned leather, our PlayBloc is made to last and to shine. It stands as a symbol of our unwavering commitment to environmental consciousness, ensuring the coexistence of style and sustainability in every journey you undertake.

Woven into the very fabric of our PlayBloc is the essence of sustainable elegance—veg-tanned leather. Meticulously crafted with natural tannins, this premium material radiates eco-friendliness and ensures durability. Embrace a bag that transcends fashion, embodying a commitment to both timeless style and a greener tomorrow.

Compared to chrome-tanned leather, a more common choice in leather products for its low cost and short production process, veg-tanned leather is often reserved for high-end, customized goods given its toxin-freesafe-for-skin nature as well as its delightful scent.

As resilient as it is, our veg-tanned leather is easily restorable from scratches. Simply apply a small amount of our beeswax oil with a quick wipe, and voilà! Your bag is revitalized to its pristine state as if untouched by time.

PlayBloc is assembled with zero glue, stitches, and chemicals, realized through the intricate application of the origami technique and a specially designed crease structure at each edge of the bag. Achieving this level of precision and execution required extensive research, numerous design iterations, and a meticulous trial-and-error process.

Through countless endeavors, we refined the crease design with interlaced curved cuts, each featuring a carefully calculated angle to ensure a flawless edge. These cuts are created using our own laser-cutting machine, fine-tuned for optimal results. These dedications make PlayBloc a testament to our design spirit and engineering excellence combined.

Each PlayBloc undergoes a thorough and meticulous assembly process, crafted with care and attention to detail. The hand-making approach imparts a warm and personal touch to each individual PlayBloc.

Carry PlayBloc your own way! Each PlayBloc comes with an adjustable Standard Long Strap of the same color. However, you have the option to swap it with the shorter Minimalist Strap and Weave Strap, in any color of your choice from the Add-On section.

On the Standard Long Strap, you’ll find a ring attachment that allows you to carry your headphone case, travel card, and any other accessories for easy access.

Also made with our signature veg-tanned leather and origami design, Dumpling bucket is a work of art and a walk of sophistication when you carry it. From one angle, it playfully resembles a charming dumpling; from another, the exquisite petal-like shapes around the body adorn it, adding an elegant touch to your style.

Dumpling offers versatility for any occasion with its two straps: a Weave Handbag Strap ideal for handheld elegance and a Long Shoulder Strap for crossbody or over-the-shoulder wear. Match your Dumpling with one that aligns best with your event of the day, or evening!

The plump shape of Dumpling accommodates all your essentials with ease, whether you’re preparing for a relaxed outdoor stroll or a sophisticated evening event. Even better, your Dumpling will maintain its elegant silhouette even when packed to capacity with your belongings. 

If you’re in the mood for a self-pampering session or looking to create a heartfelt gift, consider our DIY edition, which allows you to handcraft PlayBloc, either for yourself or as a thoughtful present for someone special.

Style your AirPods up with our Kangaroo leather headphone case, also made from our signature veg-tanned leather and available in the same four colors as PlayBloc and three editions for AirPodsAirPods Pro and AirPods 3. There’s an opening at the bottom that allows you to charge your AirPods without removing the case.

Care for your PlayBloc or Dumpling with our natural beeswax leather conditioner. Gently apply a thin layer of the conditioner over your PlayBloc or Dumpling to make it resistant to water and dust, bringing its durability to new heights!

As a token of our appreciation to our earliest backers, we’re thrilled to offer the Beeswax Leather Conditioner for free in the first 7 days, so don’t miss out!
