When I saw KikaNY Leather Goods on Dutch tv, I immediately looked up their website and designs. The leather bags and shoes designs by KikaNL are completely my style: Authentic, handmade, minimal, and of high quality.
KikaNY leather goods is founded in 2009 by Kika Vliegenthart and Sabine Spanjer. Kika and Sabine are both Dutch artists, living in NYC. Kika has traveled the world, works in the film industry and learned her skills at the workshop of the famous Barbara Shaum. Sabine fell in love with the art of leather crafting and joined Kika. A few years later Stefany Peña joined the studio in Brooklyn NY.
We use traditional techniques handed down by legendary leather smith Barbara Shaum. To keep the tradition alive, we work with machines custom-built for our studio and tools from old-school suppliers in France and the UK. Most of our resources come from Europe as well. We use high-end leather from Italy, Spain, Belgium and US-based Horween in Chicago. Our solid brass hardware is hand tooled in a family owned foundry in Europe
The Duffle Backpack #2 is one of my favourites, along with these Toe Loop with ankle strap sandals and the small market bag… But I can easily pick a few more! I love the straight lines, the look and feel of the genuine thick but soft leather. The black ones are on my wish-list, since I only wear black and grey. I just know by looking at the sandals, they’ll have a good fit and I can walk all day, all summer on them! I probably will newer take them off again… And the bags are so well designed. Minimal but definitely functional and great for city trips and for work… Next time when I’m in New York, I’ll definitely visit them!
