What Is Philip Karto?

Philip Karto transforms authenticated vintage luxury bags into singular works. Each piece is dismantled, restored and reconstructed by hand in the Philip Karto Atelier, then individually executed, numbered and signed.

The original icon remains recognizable.
Its identity does not.
