our atelier
“Just as leather has an intuitive appeal and remains beautiful for decades, I aim to create fashion objects that will stay dear to the wearer throughout their life.”
— Marie Bernadette Woehrl
Handmade in Antwerp
We design and make all of our products in our Antwerp atelier.
Maintaining an inhouse production allows us to work in small quantities to avoid the downsides of an international production chain.
We can work with custom sizing to fit our client’s needs. It is our belief that our products should serve you for a long time and thus we offer repair and alteration services for any of your purchased items.
Carefully Selected Materials
We personally select every piece of leather and hardware used in our products. Our leather comes from European tanneries or deadstock sourced from the luxury fashion industry.
Our favourite choice is “Vachetta vegtan”, an Italian natural vegetal tanned leather. The chrome-free and heavy chemical free tanning process is a sustainable production methods and highlights the natural beauty of the skin’s surface texture.
Our Location
Our atelier is located in Wolstraat 31, in the historical center of Antwerp.
This historic setting enhances our creative space, connecting our work with the city’s rich heritage.
We are members of Ercola Vzw, the oldest still existing artist collective of Europe. Close daily contact with other artforms keeps our mind open and stimulates our creativity.
We invite you to visit us in person—please get in touch to schedule an appointment and see our products and process up close.
Open for Collaborations
We welcome collaborations with designers and individuals who are interested in co-creating artisanal leather goods.
Whether you need custom designs or small-scale leather production, we are here to work with you and bring your ideas to life.
Partnerships
Our atelier also works with shops and brands on business-to-business projects. We offer the opportunity to create exclusive, limited-edition items and collaborate on special projects or events.
We focus on producing high-quality, unique luxury products with our distinct aesthetic.
“I believe that by combining craftsmanship with the involvement of local artists, we can create pieces that satisfy everyone’s need for beauty and the new, the surprising. By keeping everything geographically close, producing in small quantities, and focusing on practical innovation. I believe this can be done responsibly and respectfully, both environmentally and emotionally.”
