Product Insights & Style Tips

Eittem Petite Bird in Aether with Gold is a sculptural handbag that reads like wearable art. Handcrafted in a Manhattan atelier from salvaged American walnut, its form feels carved from a quiet moment between architecture and poetry. Togo Alpine calfskin leather in Etoupe by Weinheimer Leder wraps the edges in tonal luxury, while polished solid brass hardware adds a warm, reflective finish. The piece features a 20-inch sterling silver shoulder chain finished in 14k gold, giving the silhouette a subtle opulence. Each bag bears a unique number and is logged in the Eittem archive, then issued in limited runs with a numbered and signed card of authenticity.

Carried by the chain, or held close in the hand, the Petite Bird makes a statement without shouting. The walnut body provides a tactile, warm contrast to the cool metallics and leather, while the 20-inch chain enables a range of wear from over the shoulder to held as a compact piece. The discreet scale and sculptural lines let it layer with tailoring or a luxe denim moment, traveling smoothly from day to night.

About Eittem

Eittem is a New York based luxury atelier that crafts sculptural, functional handbags that sit at the crossroads of contemporary art and wearable design. Founded by designer Erin Saluti, each numbered piece is carved from salvaged American walnut in a Chelsea studio and conceived to be carried, worn, and collected over time. The brand rejects traditional handbag conventions in favor of form, proportion, and tactility, treating objects as collectible sculptures rather than seasonal accessories. The inaugural collection arrived in 2024, with limited editions including signature silhouettes like Bird, Moon, and Owl, all built to age gracefully with the wearer. For shoppers, Eittem offers a distinctive, craft-forward investment piece that elevates everyday carry into artful daily ritual.
