Beyond luxury

A different kind of handbag by An Vandenberk

Jouw tas hoeft niet te bewijzen wie je bent – ze vertelt wie je bent.

Why

choose An Vandenberk

In a world where luxury often means recognisable logos and seasonal drops, I offer something different: a custom-made handcrafted leather handbag that reflects your values and your story – not a passing trend.

not

…status, but meaning

Traditional luxury speaks of status. My work speaks of soul. Your handbag doesn’t prove who you are — it reveals who you are. Crafted from your story, with intention.

Each bespoke leather handbag begins with a conversation – not a catalogue. You bring your story, and I bring the craftsmanship.

…mass-produced, but made by hand

Every piece is designed and made entirely by hand in my Brussels atelier. I cut, sew, and finish each item myself – no production lines, no outsourcing, no compromise.
This is honest, detailed work – the kind that takes time and care. I am a Belgian artisan certified artisan, officially recognised by the Belgian government.

A handcrafted bespoke leather bag is not an object. It is a process, a ritual, a collaboration.

…trends, but timelessness

My work doesn’t follow fashion’s rhythm – it follows yours.
Sometimes, I give a second life to meaningful leather: an old jacket, a loved one’s bag, or a forgotten piece with emotional value.
In doing so, your custom-made handbag becomes not just timeless, but storied.
