Introduction

Forjé is an Argentine leather goods brand founded in 2025, focused on bags that bridge the tradition of the craft with a contemporary eye. Produced in Córdoba, the brand starts from a clear premise: honest, durable, timeless pieces — objects meant to accompany for years, not to follow a season.

About the project

The name has a double root. Alforja is one of the earliest bags recorded in history — a gesture of utility moving across cultures. Forjar is the verb of the craft: working leather with patience. The brand leans on that tension between the ancestral and the contemporary: a name that holds origin and craft, tradition and authorship.

The project was developed from creative direction and building the identity from scratch. The visual system favors sobriety and material honesty: firm typography, a contained palette, an aesthetic that accompanies the object without imposing on it. From there, the main deliverables were derived: visual identity, social media presence and website.
