Refine Outside. Alive Inside.
Our Story
Most work bags ask you to choose. Performance or personality.
Gnome & Bow was built on the refusal to accept that.
Founded in Singapore in 2013, we design leather work bags, wallets and personalised gifts for professionals who are not only interested in the job — but genuinely interesting. Every bag is refined on the outside — structured, composed, built to earn any room without asking for it. And alive on the inside — fully colourful, completely deliberate, the interior that belongs entirely to the person carrying it.
The Gnome is diligent, practical, gets things done. The Bow brings personality. The ampersand holds them together. Both. Always. You don't have to choose.
Discover our full grain leather work backpacks, crossbody handbags, slim RFID wallets, travel passport holders and card holders. These pieces offer men and women a perfect blend of quality meets style, making them thoughtful gifts for any occasion.

Our Values
Individuality
"Be unapologetically who you are"
Our designs are a well proportioned juxtaposition of classic silhouettes and clean lines with contrasting shapes, curves and textures, providing a unique visual tension that draws your eyes in effortlessly.
No fashion trends, just timeless style that speaks to your personality.
Quality
"Buy less, buy better"
We delve deep into quality materials and construction to ensure the durability and longevity of our products. Our full grain leathers (the top most and hardiest layer of the cow’s hide) age gracefully and form a patina with time and use. Our densely woven nylons are lightweight, water, stain and scratch resistant. Our YKK EXCELLA® metal zippers are highest-grade used by luxury brands.
Practicality
"Good design is useful" – Dieter Rams
We design with purpose and occasion in mind. Whether it’s a professional black leather laptop briefcase for work, spacious and versatile everyday tote, lightweight water-resistant travel backpack with a luggage slot for your holidays or a classy slim clutch for a night out, we help you live smarter and dress sharper.
Multiple organisation pockets crafted in our signature bright herringbone lining makes finding your items a breeze. RFID blocking lining in our wallets help protect you from credit card fraud and identity theft.
