BREE

In 1970 Wolf Peter Bree founded the Bree Collection GmbH & Co. KG in Isernhagen. He designed robust satchels and book bags, doctors’ briefcases and hiking rucksacks made of natural leather. They have long been known as functional, rustic classics. Export to the USA began in 1983. Since then BREE has not only stood for robust bags but also for elegant designs and functional luggage.

The leather specialist also makes use of modern synthetic fibres for innovative solutions, the “Punch” bag and rucksack range, for example.

Today, the BREE design is sought after all over the world.

Above is an excerpt about BREE.  I recently discoved one of their stores in Lübeck.

This is a picture of one of their stores in Japan.

Their handbags are really lovely, and made very well.  Every stitch is carefully done, the zippers are strong.  And I think all products come with a two year gaurantee.

After weeks of thinking about it, I decided on this bag, called the Hanna, in a dark espresso brown color with a lovely green lining and green piping.
