Eagle Falcon

Luxury briefcases and everyday carry essentials for modern professionals

Introduction

Eagle Falcon Handcrafted is a luxury leather goods brand founded by Derrick Fountain in 2015.

The brand partners with retailers who share a common philosophy and complimentary product offerings that intersect at key moments in the life of a modern professional. The target customer experiencing such a life event could be a recent MBA graduate, a newly discharged military officer returning to civilian life, or even a recently promoted executive.

Vegetable Tanned Leather

The leather used in Eagle Falcon products is a testament to the brand's commitment to quality. Sourced directly from Istanbul, each item is made from premium, locally-obtained vegetable-tanned leather. The selection process is rigorous, involving personal inspection of numerous hides to ensure only the finest leather is used.

Turkey's reputation as a top-tier leather producer in Europe, dating back to the first leather district established near Topkapi city walls in 1453, guarantees the highest standards of quality and sustainability in production.

Kutnu “palace fabric” lining

A distinctive feature of Eagle Falcon products is the use of “Kutnu” fabric for linings. This vibrant, multi-colored material has historical significance, being the preferred 'palace fabric' of the Ottoman Empire and a symbol of status along the ancient Silk Road. Handwoven on traditional looms using naturally dyed threads, each meter of kutnu represents a day's work of skilled artisans, embodying the brand’s commitment to preserving traditional craftsmanship in every product, from briefcases to wallets.
