A METAL BAG THAT LOOKS MORE AT HOME IN A GALLERY THAN ON YOUR ARM, WOULD YOU WEAR IT?

Some brands design bags. Others design experiences. Department falls into the latter. Known as a design studio rooted in contemporary interiors, the brand has always defined “home” as a personal retreat—an escape anchored in simplicity, focus, and clarity. Their objects aren’t just functional; they’re meditative, sculptural pieces meant to strip life back to its essentials.

But now, Department has taken its philosophy beyond the living room and into the streets with its latest creation: a metal bag. Think of it as part wearable, part sculpture, a minimalist armor for the everyday. Shiny, structured, and unapologetically architectural, the bag feels like it belongs just as much on a console table as it does on your shoulder.

It’s more than just an accessory; it’s a conversation starter. A statement about function meeting form, about home leaving home. And perhaps, the ultimate question: would you dare to carry it?
