Crafted in honor of Ms. Thelma, a woman of enduring elegance and quiet refinement, this one-of-a-kind satchel is a study in memory, texture, and timeless beauty. The exterior’s richly patterned textile is paired with a sumptuous up-cycled crushed velvet interior, preserving both form and feeling in every detail.
Designed with a softly structured silhouette, a vintage-inspired clasp, and a deeply personal interior pocket drawn from the original garment, this piece carries more than essentials, it carries story.
No two will ever exist again.

One-of-one design
The Goroka Exchange Tote distills global movement into a refined, everyday form. Crafted from an authentic Papua New Guinea Highlands coffee export sack, each original marking remains intact—preserving a story of origin, passage, and exchange.
Thoughtfully scaled for daily life, the structured silhouette offers ease without excess. A reinforced base maintains its shape, while an 18-inch handle drop allows for effortless shoulder wear. Inside, a tailored botanical lining introduces an unexpected layer of elegance—quiet, but intentional.
Finished with durable webbed handles and a signature leather label, this one-of-a-kind piece carries both purpose and provenance.
No two are exactly alike.

Expertise
CREATIVITY
One-of-a-kind pieces, made with spirit and style
What began with a single pair of jeans has evolved into a design philosophy grounded in resilience, artistry, and care.
At SPPS Design Studio, nothing is wasted.
Everything is considered.
And every piece is created to honor the complexity, beauty, and endurance of the human experience.
To carry an SPPS piece is to carry more than a handbag.
It is to carry a story of transformation.
A commitment to sustainability.
An acknowledgment of what has been, and what can still become.
Every seam, every texture, every reconstruction is intentional. The hand remains present in the work. The past remains present in the material. The future remains open in the design.
This is not mass production.
This is preservation.
This is reinvention.
This is actively human design.
