Country of Manufacture
Made in the USA
David Galan’s comparable leather bags are described by the designer as domestically made, with independent retailers identifying his pieces as handcrafted in Los Angeles.
The drawstring silhouette changes shape depending on how tightly it is gathered, so measurements should be taken while the bag is gently filled and standing naturally.
Product Year Made
Estimated 2010s to early 2020s
David Galan established his brand in 2009. The exact production year of this bag could not be confirmed from the photographs. Its heavily gathered construction, tonal oxidized chain, and all-black treatment are consistent with the designer’s established sculptural leather vocabulary.
Rarity
Hard-to-find independent designer piece
Handcrafted or small-production construction
Not confirmed as a limited edition
This bag is uncommon on the secondary market and has strong art-to-wear appeal. Its rarity comes from David Galan’s small-scale independent production and distinctive construction rather than from documented limited-edition status.

Part handbag, part wearable sculpture.
David Galan transforms supple black leather through dramatic gathering, dimensional folds, and tonal oxidized chainwork. The result is an unconventional crossbody with an artful, futuristic presence—created for the collector who values independent design over obvious logos.
