The design philosophy behind all products from Steele & Borough is based on an extreme focus on details. When making a bag we find it important that all parts are well thought out and that the functions and aesthetics blend together in a natural expression. It is also very fun to really go deep when making a new product.
- Why, how and for what? All these questions needs to have an answer before we produce a new product.
Let’s have a closer look at the features that or products have.

Making the bag
The shoulder straps
Starting from top we have the shoulder strap. It is made out of thick cotton canvas with logo engraved metal buckle. This material is great because of its softness and durability. What is also good is that the structure of it makes it less prone to slipp on your shoulder witch is a problem with smoother nylon straps when for example carrying them towards a suit material.
All shoulder straps are off-course detachable and length adjustable.
Vegan leather and nylon
he handles and details of our bags are made of vegan leather, witch has some benefits. It is for example water repellant and lightweight. Every part of the vegan leather is stitched carefully and reinforced where needed. For example the attachment of the handles have an additional cross-stitching and the D-ring holder on the sides have double stitching for more durability. The side parts under the handle that sort of embraces the body of the bag have the important function to give the bag some stiffness but also reinforcement when carrying more heavy packing. As main exterior material on our bags we use a very durable nylon. It has a rugged structured finish that is sporty and rigid and makes a nice contrast to
our smooth vegan leather parts. It is also water repellent and doesn’t pic up dirt as easy as more smooth nylon materials does.
The zipper
The shape of the zipper takes influence from our trademark, the hexagon, where the big hole serves as a perfect grip. The top of the zipper is round and lets the zipper move smoothly in the zipper holder without getting stuck. It is made of thick sturdy metal with a sligthly thicker bottom for the right feel.
The inside fabric
After a couple of years of developing almost every detail of our bags we came down to the inside. We had a vision of a Steele & Borough pattern that would decorate the inside of all our inner fabrics. We both thought it would be a great idea to contact an external expert in the field to let some fresh independent air into our product. Futuristic artist Nandi Nobell proved to be the perfect match to Steele & Boroughs more classic design approach.
He made the most beautiful pattern with a perfect discrete hint to our hexagon logo, picking up the essence of what we stand for: Subtle classic elegance meeting today without staring in the rear mirror.
The inside pockets
All our weekender bags, duffle bags, laptop bags and backpacks have smart inside pockets. We know people have a lot of small things with them today such as cell-phone, earphones, keys, passport, wallet, flight tickets etc.
We used this information and created our inside pockets after that. It is not a Swiss army knife we are talking about, but it's just as practical as we think it needs to be without taking apart the rather minimalistic look we strive to achieve in our bags.

The metal feet
All our mens duffels and mens weekender bags has small metal feet under them. These stops the bottom of the bag from touching the ground when putting it down and keeps it away from dirt and water. A small practical part, and very important, at least we think.
