About / Collection

Fabric
Our customers are in love with our eye catching collections, the fantastic complexity of patterns and colours used in Japanese textiles are perfect for creating such stand out pieces. Fabric quality, combination and limited production play a major role in separating us from other designers /manufacturers. To make certain our product remains unique and fresh for each client we buy just two meters of each print so you can be assured our limited edition handbags are exactly that. No two ranges are ever the same, you'll never see your bag walk past you in the street!




Hardware & Notions
Hardware, thread and interfacing are an integral part of any great bag and we only use the very best! Our seat belt handles and straps add not only colour but a durability that's hard to find in other handbags. All of these components are put together and double stitched to make sure your V'nessa handbag goes the distance.
