  • Handcrafted bespoke leather handbag with unique design by An Vandenberk

    Bespoke luxury handbag or luxury brand: what do you really choose?

    You can buy a luxury handbag. But a bespoke luxury handbag is something you create. The price tag may look similar, but the difference is something you feel every day.

    Why This Is No Disco Chooses Bamboo – and Why It Matters

    Many people think of bamboo as basics, underwear, or yoga wear. Comfortable? Yes. Luxurious? No.
    But let me ask you this: what does it cost you to keep believing that misconception?

    Fashion has never been just clothing for me. It’s a mirror of choices. As a designer, I feel a responsibility: do I join the race of fast fashion, or do I consciously choose a slower, more sustainable path? For me, the answer is clear. Slow fashion is not only better for the planet, it also aligns with my vision of quality, ethics, and creativity.
