YVN — Hand-stitched leather goods built for a lifetime of stories.
Small-batch carry that feels personal, rare, and unmistakably yours.
What YVN is
YVN makes leather bags and carry goods using predominantly vegetable-tanned leather—slow-tanned, aromatic, and made to age beautifully.
Every piece is fully hand-stitched, finished by hand, and produced in small batches. No shortcuts. No mass production.

Satchel Bag
A satchel is timeless for a reason: it was originally built to be dependable, structured, and ready for daily use. The YVN 221 returns to that purpose with Japanese pit-tanned Himeji leather—extra thick, firm, and made to deepen in character with time. At first it feels crisp and solid, then gradually warms and settles into your routine without losing its shape. We added modern travel-minded details—an internal divider for documents or a notebook computer, plus a trolley sleeve on the back—so it works for commuting, flights, and long weekends. Finished in undyed natural leather that will slowly turn richer and darker, the 221 is designed to be carried for years, not seasons.

Why it’s different
Not just leather. Not just a bag. A companion.
Built to last:
Hand-stitching creates a stronger, more serviceable seam structure than typical machine stitching.
One-of-one character:
Vegetable-tanned leather develops a patina unique to your daily life—scratches, shine, and color deepen over time.
Sculpted structure:
Select designs use wet-molding techniques to hold shape with a natural, architectural curve.
Finish you can feel: Burnished edges finished with wax are part of the signature—time-intensive, but worth it.
Materials :
We work with trusted tanneries in Japan and Italy, choosing vegetable-tanned leather made with natural tannins (e.g., quebracho, mimosa) for a distinct aroma and a surface that grows richer with use.
