Frankie, Holger and Daniel

Graf Lantz is an Oak favorite (we even did a collabo last season -more to come!). We just received a brand new shipment of their modern bags, accessories and home goods andmade in Los Angeles they represent the perfect combination of simplicity and fun. We took a minute to meet up with Holger Graf and Daniel Lantz (and Frankie- the real heart of the operation). With very distinct backgrounds they are the best of compliments.
