PM/AM bag®

Have you ever wondered how a single person can transform your sense of quality and conscious design? For Christian Gafner, it was his grandfather—a master shoemaker—whose workshop became a haven of inspiration. Imagine standing amid the scent of leather and shoe sole glue, witnessing the calm precision of true craftsmanship, and sensing how the meaning of the essential quietly grows within you.

​

What do you truly need for a journey that lasts only one night—from evening until morning? The PM/AM bag® is Christian’s answer to this question. It invites you to focus on what truly matters: reduction, not as deprivation, but as an invitation to grant yourself space—for your thoughts, for yourself. Here, luxury is not abundance, but the freedom to leave distractions behind.

​

Have you ever found a bag that truly understands your needs? The PM/AM bag® is mildly distinctly different. It features a slender compartment for your reMarkable paper-tablet or laptop, a pocket for your finest socks, and a dedicated space for your toothbrush. And, of course, there is ample room for a bottle of Crémant d’Alsace. Can you imagine the pleasure of nestling your watch or a cherished piece of jewellery in a softly lined compartment—or having your current read, or a sketchbook for spontaneous ideas, always elegantly within reach?

​

Do you know where this bag is created? In Switzerland, crafted from sustainable eco-leather in close collaboration with Tanja Klein of Kleinbasel. Its artisanal elegance reflects a devotion to simplicity and quality.

 

What does true luxury mean to you? Is it not the art of letting go of the superfluous in order to give space to what truly matters—to clarity, personality, and inspiration? Thus, the PM/AM bag® celebrates not only tradition and creativity, but also the liberty to shed what is unnecessary and create room for oneself. What do you take with you—and what do you consciously leave behind?

​

Preorders soon rolled in, confirming that Christian’s vision resonated: less is more, and thoughtful design is true luxury. The PM/AM bag® celebrates heritage, creativity, and the wisdom that sometimes, the essentials are everything.
