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.
