FUNCTIONAL DESIGN AND MINIMALIST ELEGANCE:
At lundi, every bag is conceived as an object of use as functional as it is elegant. Inspired by architecture, furniture and the Bauhaus movement, our studio imagines minimalist, no-frills bags, where every detail has a purpose. Here's a look at our approach to design, a blend of precision and discretion.
THE LUNDI BAG PHILOSOPHY
An aesthetic designed for the working week
Our creations find their place in useful days. They accompany the Monday morning rush, the appointments, the projects, the impromptu departures for the night. That's why we've made the professional week our field of expression.
A computer, a notebook, a briefcase, files, a charging cable, sometimes a shirt or a pair of shoes: every object has its place. This functional reading guides our choices. The interior of our bags is an architecture in itself, thought out with the same rigor as a layout plan: clear, hierarchical, optimized volumes.

Bauhaus influence: harmony between form and function
Our top-of-the-range bag design is rooted in the aesthetic tradition of the Bauhaus. The German school, more than a stylistic trend, is for us a language of thought. The idea that beauty is revealed in utility. That function can be elegant. And that a well-designed object naturally finds its place.
That's why our lines are sober. Clean in the extreme, with nothing superfluous. No ornamentation, no frills. Every seam, every zip, every curve has a purpose. A detail is never there to seduce, but to serve. Either to facilitate use, or to reinforce resistance over time.

Minimalism as a requirement, not as a stylistic effect
lundi's minimalist bag design is not a graphic style. It's a requirement. It's about keeping only the essentials. A bag doesn't need to speak loudly. It has to stand back to make room for the wearer. Its elegance comes from its discreet balance, its perfect fit and the precision of its lines.
The formal purity of our products is the fruit of long and painstaking work. We design, test, adjust, prototype - until every element is in its right place. No more, no less.
The 36-hour concept: embodying functionality
The concept of the 36-hour bag, emblematic of our collection, sums up this philosophy perfectly. A bag for light travel, designed to accompany two days and one night, without compromise. Thanks to its two separate compartments, it can efficiently separate business and personal items.
A compact toiletry bag, designed to fit in perfectly, completes the package. Nothing is left to chance. Every millimeter serves one idea: travel smart, in style.

A creative process rooted in reality
Our products are never conceived from an aesthetic desire. We always start from reality. From use. From a life scenario. We analyze what the bag will have to hold, withstand and cope with. From there, a plan is born. Then a first sketch. Then a prototype.
Our creatives - in-house or regular partners - contribute their ideas, often drawn from related fields: modern architecture, furniture design, applied arts. This cross-disciplinary approach is invaluable. It avoids redundancy. It breathes freshness. It feeds rigor.
Noble materials, chosen to last
We use mainly full-grain leather from semi-vegetable tanning. A subtle balance: the naturalness of vegetable leather, with greater resistance to everyday wear. This noble material develops a patina over time, bearing witness to the life of its wearer.
Choosing leather for a professional bag is not just a matter of elegance: it's also about durability. Here too, the choice is functional. Leather must hold. Make itself forgotten. Remain supple, yet robust. Like everything else in our creations, it's not there to impress, but to accompany.

Designing useful objects that stand the test of time
Designing a bag for lundi means designing a tool. A travel companion. An object that we take pleasure in finding, reusing and perhaps passing on. In a world saturated with ephemeral objects, we assert a different temporality. That of patience. Of well-thought-out design. Useful gestures. Of lasting quality.
