Product Insights & Style Tips

The Petite Bird in Woodgrain with Gold from Eittem reads as wearable sculpture, a dialogue between art and everyday carry. Handcrafted in a Manhattan atelier from salvaged American walnut, it pairs woodgrain warmth with Togo Alpine calfskin in Etoupe by Weinheimer Leder and polished solid brass. Each piece is engraved with a unique number and logged in the Eittem archive, produced in limited runs and accompanied by a numbered, signed authenticity card.

Carry it as a clutch or slip on the included 20-inch sterling silver shoulder chain finished in 14k gold for a shoulder drop. The petite silhouette keeps the walnut grain at the fore, with leather and metal lending a refined counterpoint. It holds the essentials with a quiet, collectible presence, inviting a slow relationship to a bag meant to be carried, connected to, and collected.

Eittem sits at the crossroads of sculpture and craft, a line this piece embodies with limited runs, hand numbering, and Manhattan making. A luxe yet intimate object, it pairs material gravity with a modern aura that suits editorial evenings and grounded daywear alike.

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.
