Digital Passports: A New Generation of Craft

Every MAKETTE bag includes a digital passport, accessed through an NFC chip embedded discreetly behind the logo. A simple tap with your phone connects you directly to the story of your bag: its materials, its construction, and its journey from workshop to hand. This isn’t technology for the sake of novelty. It’s about deepening connection, clarity, and care.

We believe that knowing where and how something was made builds value over time. The digital passport is our way of making that knowledge visible, not through marketing, but through fact. It holds precise details: the certified leather, the REACH-compliant hardware, the town where it was stitched. It’s a record of origin, but also a reflection of responsibility.

Craft, for us, isn’t just about touch or technique. It’s about traceability. Our aim is not only to preserve the integrity of each object, but also to respect the people and systems behind it. The passport holds us accountable to that standard.

A SYSTEM THAT LOOKS FORWARD

We see the digital passport as more than documentation. It’s infrastructure. As expectations around transparency, resale, and repair evolve, this system gives us, and you, the tools to adapt. Each passport is future-ready: able to hold authentication data, care instructions, repair records, and provenance, all in one place.


This means your MAKETTE bag stays connected to its story long after purchase. Whether it’s being passed on, restored, or resold, the digital passport adds context and continuityl, keeping the object’s value intact and its lifecycle circular. It’s a quiet but powerful shift in how luxury can operate.

We didn’t add technology to our bags to chase innovation. We built it in because permanence requires evolution. MAKETTE’s approach to digital craft is precise, intentional, and always in service of trust. One scan, and you know exactly what you’re holding and why it matters.
