ABOUT IV
Hi,
I’m Isabelle.
At the age of 12 I had a problem that I couldn’t solve.
I was not able to find the perfect bag for school, that would help me to go through the day in an organized way.
So, I decided to do it myself. Well, not really all by myself. I told my dad and he was thrilled. Little did I know my predecessors had a lot to do with leather. Around 1920, my great-great grandpa Vincent started producing hand-made leather shoes. My father shared the story’s with me of how Vincent started on his own, but in a short time his company developed and more and more employees were added. That was really fascinating to me. So after 100 years, the leather genes have found themselves in me, I guess, and I decided to start my own business.
After 2 years, we started to find the right people who brought us through the process of how bags are being made, which I appreciate very much.
At the age of 15 I saw my first real leather backpack. Holding the bag in my hands made me realize that big dreams consist of small steps.
After a lot of work we released the first "SOULMATE" collection which was inspired by two complete opposite colors seamlessly blended together.
Last but not least, I'm going to share with you my favorite quote that has motivated me through the whole journey to never stop and always believe in my dream.
''If you don’t build your own dreams, someone will hire you to build theirs.''
