The Signature Shape
The dome silhouette is Align's founding identifier. Structured, hand-stitched at the edges, with a vertical fabric stripe chosen by its owner. Each bag carries a QR-enabled product passport linking it to the artisan, the materials, and the community organization its purchase supported. The shape stays. Everything else is yours to decide.
Two Ways to Own a Piece
Co-created, made for you
From $700
The signature bag and its smaller companion are individually co-created. You choose your fabric, your leather, your hardware. Your piece is made specifically for you, one at a time. The making process is documented and shared with you as it happens.
The batch collection
From $50
Scarves, pocket squares, and smaller goods are made in batches. A design is shown. When enough people commit, the order is placed with the artisan and the making begins. Everyone in that batch shares the same production story, the same QR code, the same making video. Different people, different cities, same origin.
Once 25 orders are placed, this batch goes into production.
Being in a batch is its own thing. You are part of a group of people who collectively brought something into existence.
Coming Next
Scarves and pocket squares sourced from kikoi weavers. A smaller version of the signature bag. And eventually, made-to-order clothing: each piece co-created with its owner and traced from source to wardrobe.
