Absent Findings

About the brand

Crafted from rich Tuscan leather and deadstock microfiber suede, Absent Findings handbags are sculptural companions defined by contrast, memory, and meticulous craft. Each silhouette — Gallery or Studio, in small or large — features signature quilted stitch lines that draw from the fluid drape of saris and the bold geometries of Le Corbusier’s Palace of Assembly in Chandigarh. The Gallery Bag, distinguished by its unique/ revolutionary top handle, blends form and function. Available in both large and small sizes, it can be worn crossbody or carried by hand.

The large version is spacious enough for daily rituals and more, while the small comfortably fits your phone, wallet, sunglasses, and other essentials — compact but impactful. The Studio Bag offers a softer silhouette with generous interior space, featuring both an internal sleeve and zip pocket for organization.

The large version fits laptops and everything in between, while the small is ideal for lighter days and fits a small tablet with ease. Custom brass hardware, minimalist branding, and intentional colorways — Black, Green, and Brown — make each bag quietly distinctive. Designed in Italy and made in UAE, these are collectible objects of use and emotion — carriers of what you need, and what you hold dear.

Absent Findings is a design-led brand rooted in memory, material, and emotion. Blending sculptural silhouettes with thoughtful craftsmanship, it transforms forgotten textiles and premium leathers into collectible, functional objects. Designed in Florence and produced in UAE, each piece carries stories from the past into the present — quietly bold, deeply personal, and made to be held close.

This debut collection by Absent Findings draws from a tapestry of personal memory, architectural form, and cultural heritage. Inspired by the fluid drape of heirloom saris once worn by the designer’s mother and grandmother, and juxtaposed with the bold geometry of Le Corbusier’s *Palace of Assembly* in Chandigarh, the collection finds beauty in contrast. Sculptural silhouettes meet delicate stitch lines; deadstock fabrics are paired with rich Tuscan leather. Every piece is designed to be both functional and emotional — a quiet vessel for stories, histories, and the present moment.
