The Story Behind Clark & Co.
Bruce Clark, Founder
I have been a menswear enthusiast and hobbyist for more than fifteen years. This journey has opened the door to research on thousands of premium products and goods. From raw denim, to shawl cardigans, to well-crafted luggage — countless hours have been spent learning the ins-and-outs of materials, construction, textures, and style.
Over the years, one product remained particularly illusive — a truly versatile duffle bag that could be used in any and all situations.
Creating The Classic Duffle
In late 2018 I stopped looking outward and instead devoted myself to the craft of leatherworking.
Within months I sketched out the first iteration of the Clark & Co. duffle and began sourcing and testing materials. Soon after, I hand stitched the very first full leather version, pictured in the photos here.
Today, what started as a hobbyist passion has blossomed into a small crafted collection of bags. All are handmade in my small shop in Sloan’s Lake, Colorado.
I strongly believe these bags are some of the highest quality, most beautiful, and truly unique options available on the market today.
