Katherine Riardant designs begin conceptualization on the drawing board. Sketches draw inspiration from geometric forms, European architecture, aviation, and elegant city living. Each idea is carefully considered for both aesthetic beauty and functionality — fine art takes time.

Paper sketches are enhanced by Parisian-inspired color palettes featuring rich burgundies, deep greens, royal blues, mustards, classic black, crisp white, and select pastels. Detailed design patterns are first brought to life in the form of 3D models, to assess proportions, size, depth, and comfort. Custom-designed accents and adornments — such as high-quality plated metals, hidden pockets, and detachable straps — are added for style and function, and complete the undeniably sleek aesthetic.

Each luxury leather prototype is then perfected and handcrafted in Katherine’s studio or in Italy, using only the finest materials and machinery, before it is personally packaged in a luxurious cardstock box, optionally with your own initials — because in the end, it’s all for you.
