About
CRAFTED WITH PURPOSE, CONNECTED BY PEOPLE
Belgian design. Inspired by the North.
Highlands was born from a journey through the Scottish Highlands; a landscape of mist, stone, and silence that inspired freedom, simplicity, and quiet strength. That spirit lives in everything we create.
Designed in Belgium and handcrafted in India by artisans we know and trust, each leather bag combines timeless design with lasting functionality. Made to move with you, from daily life to distant travels.
We don’t follow trends. We craft essentials that endure, age beautifully, and tell a story.
Highlands stands for honesty, craftsmanship, and connection; values that guide every detail, from design to production.
