Bags · Wallets · Belts — Seeb, Oman
Every bag leaving our Seeb workshop is cut, dyed and hand-stitched to order — full-grain hides, brass hardware, and a saddle stitch built to outlast the trend cycle.
Our Craft
Kabayan means "fellow countryman" — and that's the feeling we build into every bag: familiar, dependable, made by hand. Hides are sourced, hand-cut using paper patterns, skived at the edges, and joined with a two-needle saddle stitch that won't unravel even if a single thread breaks.
No two grains are identical, so no two bags are either. We keep runs small on purpose — small enough that the person who cuts your bag is the same person who hands it to you.
The Collection
Everything is available off the shelf at the workshop, or made to your measurements — ask in store about custom colours and monogramming.
Everyday carry with a structured base and a stitched shoulder strap built for years of commuting.
From OMR 38Slim, edge-painted, and broken in fast — sized to sit flat in a pocket, not bulge out of it.
From OMR 9Single-piece cut, five-hole punched to fit, with a removable brass buckle you can swap out.
From OMR 12Weekend-sized bags reinforced at every stress point, with a strap long enough to cross the body.
From OMR 55How It's Made
The same four steps, whether it's a wallet or a weekend bag.
Grain, thickness and colour are matched to what the piece needs to do.
Pattern-cut by hand, edges thinned so seams sit flat, not bulky.
Two needles, one thread, hand-pulled tight through every hole.
Edges are burnished smooth, hardware set, and the piece is inspected.
