Unparalleled quality inspired by aviation. 

1903

The Wright Brothers first flight in Kittyhawk, North Carolina

The Katharine’s stitching captures the intricate layout of “flying wires” that once bridged the wings of the historic Wright Brothers aircraft. Every line, seam, and contour reflects the balance of engineering and elegance.

1917
The Sopwith Camel enters service with No. 4 Squadron of the Royal Naval Air Service.
 

The bold “X” motif of the Aero echoes the wing supports of the Sopwith Camel, a First World War aviation icon known for its agility and resilient form.

1918

Civilian pilots take responsibility for the Airmail Service.

The angled corners and the grommeted straps of the Aerial Express are inspired by the mailbags that once moved vital messages through the sky via civilian pilots in the Airmail Service.

1953
Jacqueline Cochran first breaks the Speed of sound in the F-86 Sabre.
 

The Jacqueline handbag is inspired by Jacqueline Cochran, record-setting pilot, military trailblazer, and timelines icon.

1970

The C-5 Galaxy enters service and continues to serve today. 

The Aero Luxe is inspired by the C-5 Galaxy, a plane our founder, Jared Lilje, worked on for 9 years and piloted for 5 years.

The control cables going through the bulkheads inspired the way the Aero’s handle is connected to the bag.
