Property Of is a collection of men’s bags & accessories that was launched in the autumn of 2006 in Singapore by cafe owners and design collaborators Peter Teo & Richard Chamberlain.

The brand name ‘Property Of’ refers to the identity of the product owner rather than to a designer. This is why you find the signature ‘identity tag’ labelling on every product. A bag says a lot about the person carrying it, and it becomes a part of your everyday life which makes every bag unique.

The collection was conceived in cafes over many cups of coffee and further developed around the simple idea of creating useful, well-made and considered products that reflect the designers interest in a clean function led design aesthetic. Whilst appreciating and being informed by the construction and function of classic men’s bag and accessories, the Property Of team endeavors to create its own design identity incorporating the best of old and new design values. Property Of bags and small goods are formed to be practical and reliable whilst reflecting modern needs and use with pockets, details and hardware placed and sized accordingly.

The products are formed using traditional hardwearing materials such as waxcloth & vegetable tanned leather which are used alongside contemporary coated tarpaulins and distressed canvas.
