Smith+Butler was founded in the winter of 2008 in Brooklyn, New York. The brand mainly offers a range of composite goods in a vintage classic style. The store showcases the old-school culture of Brooklyn while integrating the lifestyle concept of nomads, including styles reminiscent of 1900s street garages, 1940s butcher shops, and 1960s local old pharmacies. This gives the interior an even more retro vibe. In addition, it also displays classic handmade accessories and carefully selected art prints, making it a must-visit shop for those seeking unique retro designs.

The design of this collaborative series uses a plain weave technique to give the fabric ultra-high density, followed by a glossy finish, and plant wax is applied to enhance the fabric’s water resistance. Another highlight is the vintage-used look — the finished products are processed with a washed finish and then air-dried naturally in a dust-free drying room. Accessories are made with 3.5mm vegetable-tanned natural cowhide, and the leather surface will present a unique multi-layered texture.
