Niloticus Croc
In a world of excess, Found prefers restraint. The Bell Croc was born from that belief. Not an accessory. An heirloom piece for those who know the difference between decoration and distinction. Inspired by the utility of a vintage Bell System bag, elevated through materials and made rare through intention.
For those who drive vintage G-Wagens, buy rugs with history, and believe the finest things are Found.
Exterior
Each Croc Bell bag is constructed from premium-grade crocodile leather. Only the top 1% of skins—selected for flawless scale symmetry, softness, and uniform tone—are considered and meet the quality standards required. These hides are among the rarest and most valuable in the world, chosen one hide at a time.
Interior
The lining features full-grain Madras goatskin, prized for its smooth finish and exceptional durability. Soft as parchment, structured like saddle leather. A contrast of texture, hue, and age-worthiness. This leather ages beautifully while maintaining structural elegance.
Crafted by fewer hands than you'll ever know
Hand-built by a single French artisan with over 25 years of experience, one bag at a time. He doesn’t advertise. He doesn’t rush. Each stitch, cut, and edge is executed by hand—requiring over 60 hours of dedicated labor per piece.
Form as statement
The shape pays homage to the utility and style of the classic vintage tote but radically refined. The bag holds its form whether full or empty. No soft collapse. No filler. There is no logo. Just leather, proportion, and presence.
Why we do it
Because it's about loyalty to the process. Because the finest objects need no introduction. Because some things are not made to be marketed, they're made to be remembered.
