R10 Collections — Leather, Ready-to-Wear, and Archive Systems

R10 Collections

Collections within R10 are not developed independently.

They operate as interconnected systems.

Each division is constructed with a shared objective:

•  structural consistency
•  material integrity
•  long-term use

Garments, leather goods, and archive pieces are aligned through this framework.

Leather Division

The Leather Division focuses on objects used daily.

Wallets and cardholders are designed to:

•  maintain structure under pressure
•  evolve through repeated use
•  integrate into everyday routines

Materials are selected for how they respond to time rather than how they appear initially.

Objects such as the Leão Branco Wallet and Leão Branco Cardholder are developed to improve through use, not degrade.

Ready-to-Wear System

The Ready-to-Wear system is built around repetition.

Garments are designed to function within a uniform structure rather than as isolated pieces.

This includes:

•  structured tees
•  heavyweight hoodies
•  controlled silhouettes

→ Explore garments: Hoodies & Sweatshirts

Material selection prioritizes durability. Fit is controlled to maintain consistency across repeated wear.

The Minimalist System

Both leather and garments connect through a unified system of use.

Minimalism within R10 is not defined by reduction alone.

It is defined by alignment.

Each object must

•  function consistently
•  integrate with other pieces
•  improve over time

Mardi Gras Collection (Archive)

The Mardi Gras Collection operates as the archival division.

Each release is fixed to its year and preserved within the timeline of the house.

Unlike continuous production systems, this collection is defined by:

•  controlled releases
•  non-repetition
•  archival permanence

From MG19 through MG23, each satin bomber represents a study in structure, material, and controlled variation.

Structure Across All Collections

Despite differences in form, all collections share core principles:

Material Honesty

Materials are selected for long-term performance.

Controlled Design

Excess is removed. Structure remains.

Repetition and Use

Objects are designed to improve through consistent use.

Integration Between Divisions

Each division strengthens the others.

Leather goods integrate into daily carry.

Garments form the wearable system.

Archive pieces reinforce identity and continuity.

 

This creates a complete framework where:

•  nothing exists in isolation
•  each object supports the system
•  consistency replaces variation

Time as a Unifying Element

Time connects all collections.

Leather develops patina.

Garments soften through wear.

Archive pieces gain depth through history.

→ Explore this principle: On Patina & Time

Time is not resisted.

It is integrated into design.

Controlled Growth

The R10 system expands deliberately.

New objects are introduced only when they meet the same structural and material standards.

This prevents fragmentation.

It ensures that every addition strengthens the existing framework.

Conclusion

R10 collections are not separate categories.

They are connected systems built around structure, material, and time.

Leather Division defines everyday objects.

Ready-to-Wear defines the uniform.

Mardi Gras defines the archive.

Together, they form a complete system.

Within R10, consistency is not repetition without purpose.

It is refinement over time.
