Future Glory's Future Is Now: Hello Rockwell

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Minimalist. Architectural. Gorgeous. Should Future Glory's new handbag Rockwell ever decide to online-date, these words should serve as her profile headline. But, of course, with her looks and pedigree, there will be plenty of suitors. Constructed of premium vegetable-tanned leather and co-starring luxe brass hardware, the sleek statement-maker comes in three sizes (Mini, Midi and Grande) and two rich hues: Merlot and Noir. Prices range from $295 to $375.

Mind you, Rockwell's body is not made of ordinary leather —it's Horween leather, which comes from Chicago and one of the oldest and well-respected tanneries in the US. The handle-bag also owes its name to a Chi-Town street. Both Theresa Lee and Jennie Chen, Future Glory's partners and BFFs, hail from the Midwest metropolis; and live in San Francisco, where all the bags are handcrafted. So, basically, Rockwell is the culmination of "where we come from, where we are now and where we're headed," says Theresa.

Now for the most important part: Where to get your hands on your new baby? Shop for Rockwell online or check her out in person at the Future Glory x Modern Citizen pop-up shop this Thursday, July 30th (5pm to 9pm) at 2762 Octavia Street. (We gave you deets last week.)

Oh, how we love the future.
