Jack Gomme

OCÉAN is a historical sub-line of JACK GOMME, introduced in 1995 in lightweight nylon canvas and responsible for the brand’s first major success. It offered designs emphasizing lightness and portability, including the asymmetrical, hands-free “Kangourou” bag. Preceding the later DAPHNÉ, characterized by its combination of graphic elements and leather, and LIGHT, for everyday use and travel, the line is positioned as having shaped JACK GOMME’s approach to material development and functional design.

DAPHNÉ was a graphic line launched by JACK GOMME in 2001, characterized by a material composition combining nylon canvas and leather. Its signature model, the Fresh tote, was successful and helped drive the brand’s expansion, particularly in the United States. Compared with OCÉAN, which centers on lightweight nylon, it placed greater emphasis on contrasting materials and graphic expression. It is treated as an early design-expansion line, distinct from LIGHT, which centers on functionality for everyday use and travel.

LIGHT is an official line introduced by JACK GOMME in 2006, designed for everyday use and travel. It is built around lightness, durability, and weather resistance achieved through technical coated fabrics, and forms the brand’s core line. The brand’s official history positions it as a turning point that brings together JACK GOMME’s innovation, contemporary design, ergonomics, and lightweight construction. While ATELIER focuses on the material qualities of leather and linen, and ESCAPE on graphics for urban travel, LIGHT is the brand’s foundational functional line spanning everyday life and travel.

ESCAPE is a line launched by JACK GOMME in 2019. It comprises models inspired by the men’s wardrobe, made from technical fabrics and featuring graphics and sporty details. Officially described as a line for urban nomads and modern travelers, it continues to offer bags and cases as an independent ESCAPE collection. While LIGHT is the core line for everyday use and travel, ESCAPE is positioned as a functional offshoot that more explicitly emphasizes mobility, storage, and travel readiness.

ATELIER is a line launched by JACK GOMME in 2012, beginning with full-grain leather bags and accessories and developing designs inspired by Japanese minimalism. It later expanded its materials to include linen, Tournier wool, and patent and satin leather, and is still presented on the official website as a distinct ATELIER collection. Unlike LIGHT, which uses lightweight technical materials, and ESCAPE, which focuses on functionality for urban travel, this line centers on material expression through leather and natural, high-quality materials.
