The Pirajá Dopp Kit is a thoughtfully designed travel companion, perfect for holding your grooming essentials with style. Crafted from vibrant patchwork leather with a bold yellow zipper for easy access, this kit features a roomy interior that fits toiletries, razors, brushes, and more. The leather exterior is both water-resistant and durable, standing up to the rigors of travel while developing a beautiful patina over time. The compact rectangular shape fits easily into luggage or a gym bag, and a sturdy leather wrist strap makes it easy to carry. Every stitch is done by hand, ensuring quality construction that lasts. This is the kit that keeps you organized, no matter where you go.

The Name: Pirajá

"Pirajá" comes from the Tupi words pirá (fish) and já (abundance/place/pond), meaning "fishpond" or "place of fish." Pirajá is one of Salvador's oldest neighborhoods, named for the indigenous fishing traditions and waterways that sustained the area's original communities. I chose this name because a dopp kit, like a pond, is a vessel—a container that holds life's essentials. Just as fish gather in a pond, your daily necessities gather here, ready for wherever your journey takes you. It's practical, purposeful, and rooted in Salvador's history.

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.
