Description
Crafted from a single piece of vegetable-tanned leather, the HEJDUK Rectangular takes shape through a precise modelling process, folding onto itself to achieve its structured and geometric form.
An integrated ash wood handle introduces a subtle contrast of materials. The sides are hand-sewn with cross stitches, reinforcing its construction, while all edges are hand-burnished and finished with water-based paints, reflecting the care behind each stage.
The interior is unlined, allowing the material to be appreciated in its raw state, and includes practical interior pockets and a magnetic closure. The bag can be worn with or without its removable and adjustable strap (up to 115 cm), offering different ways of carrying it.
Part of the HEJDUK Series, the piece reflects an exploration of transforming flat material into volume, drawing from pattern-making and construction processes. The result is a precise balance of structure and proportion.
The HEJDUK Rectangular model is also available in black.
Natural variations in the leather may result in subtle differences in colour, grain and surface markings. Slight irregularities in form are inherent to the artisanal process and contribute to the character of each piece.
STEP OUT WITH CONFIDENCE — CARRYING A PIECE CRAFTED IN SPAIN, DESIGNED TO STAND OUT.
Belma Craft & Art selected HEJDUK Rectangular for:
- Precision in every stitch and finish
- Its distinctive, geometric design
- The contrast of leather and oak wood
- Its versatility, with interchangeable handle and strap
- A small-scale, design-led production
- A restrained aesthetic that brings clarity and balance to the piece
- Designed by Francisco Crescini and Ángela González, creating objects with identity and lasting presence
My visit to Taller Piccolo: After strolling through a beautiful garden, I entered the courtyard where Fran and Ángela welcomed me into their workshop. Inside, the scent of wood and natural leather filled the space. Tools lined the walls, and objects — from furniture to bags — were arranged in different stages of completion. A light layer of sawdust covered the floor, while a decorative arch and a few personal elements, like Fran’s guitar, added character to the studio.
In this calm and focused environment, Fran and Ángela shared stories from their workshop, including memories of when Antonio Banderas — a childhood friend of Ángela’s brother — would spend time there playing the guitar.
We spoke about the balance between craftsmanship and design, not as separate disciplines, but as part of the same process. Their work is driven by a clear intention to create objects with structure, function and lasting presence. In that moment, it became evident that their way of working closely aligns with my vision at Belma: to introduce considered, high-quality Spanish pieces into everyday life in the Netherlands.
If you have any questions or would like to explore other pieces from Taller Piccolo, feel free to get in touch — I’ll be happy to guide you.
The advice of Belma Craft & Art
With the strap, it moves with you; without it, its structure comes forward. Wear it according to the moment.
