HAPTICLABS INNOVATION
HAPTICLABS is our experimental playground to develop small, limited edition projects and collaborations with local artists and artisans. We make our leather products in Saigon and honor Saigon–we loved our time in Saigon; Cindy’s family has a close familial connection to Saigon; and we are deeply inspired by the lively hustle of young Vietnamese artists and entrepreneurs in a city textured by a profound history.
Unlike huge anonymous factories, the entire operation is Eric, Cindy, our sisters (Annette and Jennifer), and the local artisans Lan and Uyen. We are transparent about the labor practices behind ERIC KIM CASE because we are proud of it and love it.
Global Entrepreneurship
We lived in Vietnam and are very cognizant of global inequality, especially in labor practices. This is why we price our products the way we do. We work directly with artisans who set above market prices for high end artisanal craftsmanship. We do not run a wholesale factory, but support honest and beautiful work.
We spent years perfecting the design, workshopping different versions with the Saigon artisans. Each ERIC KIM CASE is made with love and shipped with care from California.
