Hard Graft was formed in 2008 in Vienna, Austria by monie.ka and James Teal, before relocating its operations to London. The brand designs lifestyle and tech accessories including wallets, camera bags, laptop cases, and travel goods, defined by an unmistakable combination of vegetable-tanned Italian leather and wool felt. Production takes place in a small Italian workshop between the Italian Alps and Milan, originally run by two brothers who took it over from their father, who have grown the business in partnership with Hard Graft. The brand's design philosophy centres on thoughtful, unexpected designs that pair new ideas with traditional craftsmanship and resourceful premium materials.
