What to know about Dragon Diffusion

Woven leather is the whole method

Vegetable-tanned water buffalo, goat and cow leather is cut into strips and plaited by hand in India, using basketry techniques borrowed from Japan and the South Pacific.

A few totes carry the name

Recognition rests on a small set of repeating styles — the Santa Croce, Nantucket and Triple Jump totes — rather than seasonal collections.

Independent, made on demand

Founded in Brussels in 1985 by Craig Wright, who learned the weaving techniques in Florence; bags are produced to order and sold through roughly 600 boutiques.
