Abaeté Laptop Brief

Pronunciation: ah-bah-eh-TAY

Engineered for the professional who values both function and meaning, the Abaeté Laptop Brief is where clean design meets purposeful construction. Handcrafted from a vibrant patchwork of premium leather, this brief features a padded interior sleeve that securely fits a 16-inch laptop. The exterior showcases a subtle color-block pattern—each piece of leather hand-selected and stitched with precision. A discreet hidden zipper compartment on the exterior provides quick access to documents or valuables without opening the main compartment. Sturdy carrying handles and a detachable, reinforced shoulder strap ensure comfort whether you're commuting or traveling. This isn't just a bag—it's a foundation for your work, built to last and designed to carry what matters most.

The Name: Abaeté

In the ancient Tupi language, "Abaeté" translates to "true man" or "person of worth"—a name that speaks to wisdom, integrity, and value. I chose this name because it reflects what this brief represents: a trusted companion for your professional life, something genuine and reliable. In Salvador, Bahia, Lagoa do Abaeté is a sacred freshwater lagoon revered by indigenous communities and central to spiritual traditions. It's a place of reflection and depth, much like the work you carry in this brief. Every time you use it, you're connected to that sense of purpose and authenticity.

This item is part of the Itapagipe Couro Collection.

The Itapagipe Couro Collection was born from my travels to Salvador, Bahia—a city that pulses with color, music, and a deep sense of heritage. Walking through Salvador's cobblestone streets, I was struck by the layers of history woven into every corner: the rhythm of samba drifting through open windows, the vibrant markets, and the warmth of the people. This city is my partner's hometown, and spending time there gave me a profound appreciation for the blend of indigenous, African, and Portuguese cultures that define Bahia. I wanted to honor that spirit through this collection, giving each piece a name rooted in the region's Tupi heritage—the language of the land's first people.

Itapagipe: Meaning & Origin

"Itapagipe" comes from the Tupi words itá (stone), paba (flat/place), 'y (water/river), and -pe (in/at)—together meaning "flat stone in the river" or "stone place in the water." The Itapagipe Peninsula is one of Salvador's most significant geographical features, home to historic neighborhoods and landmarks that have shaped the city since its founding. Choosing this name for the collection felt right—it's a foundation, a base upon which so much of Salvador's identity rests. Just as the peninsula anchors the city, this collection anchors my commitment to craft, heritage, and storytelling through leather.
