Luke and Philip (Phil) met in 2015 while working at the convergence of fine time pieces and wearable technology while living in San Francisco.  It wasn't until years later the two realized they shared a deep passion for all things carry related and the design of soft goods.  By that time Phil was working on launching Remote Equipment while Luke was beginning to develop a niche line of one bag travel accessories.  Through the years they stayed connected, while fate finally provided the opportunity for the two team up and launch Arterra in 2024.

The name Arterra represents the combination of artifacts and that originating from earth.  Arterra's goal is to create products that are easy to use, comfortable and versatile. This is in an effort to create lasting product that stay desirable as it's user evolves.  We believe every Arterra object is a finely crafted future artifact, built for Earth’s journeys and beyond.
