CALA & JADE was established by the Norwegian design duo Nina Amble Sandaas and Tina C. Skaar, who met whilst studying alongside each other for three years at ESMOD, the fashion school in Oslo. Having discovered that they shared a common childhood dream to create their own fashion brand, they chose womenswear as their field and, having initially specialized in fur, went on to create a stunning range of leather bags. Their fascination for all things leather and obsession with developing new material techniques eventually became an essential part of their philosophy and lead to the creation of their new fashion brand, CALA & JADE.
Never content with the ordinary, Nina and Tina wanted to design a refined looking bag that not only used the best quality leather but also somehow incorporated innovative functionality. The result was Gumma, a leather frame with an interchangeable inner bag which effectively means that the look of the bag can be completely changed depending on mood or season.
CALA & JADE mainly use top quality Scandinavian and Italian leather. In doing so, CALA & JADE hope that their bags, just like certain good wines, will get better and better with age. Timeless objects of beauty perhaps, yet somehow rather fresh and funky.
