Catrin Gockel is drawn to thoughtful design and the craft behind it. The seed for her own label was planted during her interior design studies in Wismar – the native of Essen was captivated by how materials, colors, and proportions work together, inspiring her to build a career around these passions. In 2014, she founded Zacamo. Today, her studio produces bespoke bags and accessories entirely removed from mass production. She hand-tailors most pieces herself, and she's equally passionate about developing new designs that experiment with different materials.

The newest addition to the collection is a corduroy half-moon bag – crafted almost entirely from natural materials, with plastic and synthetics deliberately excluded. Zacamo's corduroy fabrics are 100% cotton, produced by a family-run manufacturer in Germany. The half-moon bag offers generous storage for water bottles, phones, wallets, and snacks. The label's laptop bags feature soft cotton linings and a subtle rear pocket, available in two sizes to fit virtually any laptop.
