Brand Statement 

Covalence exists to regenerate more than materials—we regenerate mindset.

To us, regenerative design goes beyond sustainable materials or closed-loop production. It’s about restoring energetic bandwidth, reducing micro-friction, and supporting a more intentional way of being. When daily systems are refined—when essentials are exactly where they belong—people show up differently: more grounded, more mindful, more openhearted.

In a world of 8 billion people sharing finite resources, design becomes an essential tool for cooperation and conscientious behavior. We believe the smallest decisions—like where your phone, keys, or lip balm live—can shape larger patterns of empathy, self-regulation, and human connection.

That’s why our approach to “pocketry” is highly adaptive to a range of styles. We don’t design to impose a look—we design to amplify your own. Whether you move through the world in tailored suits, athleisure, equestrian gear, work uniforms, or something entirely your own, Covalence enhances your style by making it more functional, intentional, and personally aligned.

We design for the individual—because empowered individuals build thriving communities.

Our Story The story of Covalence begins with a vision to bridge the gap between science, art, and fashion. Co-founded by Patrick Janiak, a concept designer with a background in master planning, costume design, and personal training, and Dr. Nathan Walworth, a bio-geneticist and climate scientist, Covalence was born from the understanding that today's world requires more than beauty—it demands utility, adaptability, and empathy. Together, they sought to create something greater than the sum of its parts, merging creativity with science to craft products that genuinely improve the human experience.

What We Do We design "Tools for Peopling"—innovative leather accessories that do more than look good. Our products serve as extensions of the mind, reducing cognitive load and enabling users to operate with clarity and confidence. Our flagship products, such as the Balance Bag, Single Sling, and Magn’ Bag, exemplify this commitment to functional luxury. By organizing and securing daily essentials, these tools allow for seamless navigation of everyday life, freeing up mental space for more meaningful interactions and decisions.

Our Approach 

At Covalence, we believe balance is essential—not just in design, but in how we live. In an overstimulated world, our philosophy is rooted in systems thinking: understanding the broader patterns that shape behavior and creating tools that harmonize with them.

Our products are not just accessories—they’re behavioral tools. The Balance Bag, for instance, functions as an externalized cognitive system. By reducing decision fatigue and organizing the essentials of everyday life, it restores mental clarity, supports meaningful human interactions, and grounds the user in the present moment.

We draw from cognitive psychology and environmental design to build functional elegance—designs that not only reflect who you are but support who you’re becoming.

Join Us At Covalence, we’re on a mission to bring clarity, elegance, and purpose to the everyday. We invite you to be part of a community that values design with intention—where every product serves as a tool to help you live, work, and connect with more presence, clarity, and ease. This is modern luxury with meaning.
