Built on passion, shaped by experience
Hi, I’m Semen Anastasov, the founder of our brand.
My journey didn’t start in a boardroom or a fancy business school — it began with a genuine love for quality things and a deep desire to create something meaningful.
In 2012, after finishing university in Donetsk, I realized the tech world wasn’t for me. I had always been drawn to well-crafted leather goods — bags, shoes, accessories. So I made a spontaneous decision: I bought a few leather bags from a market in Odesa and brought them home to sell.
That spark turned into a small business. I started with a local stall, an online page, and a lot of hope.
But challenges came quickly. Poor supply chains and unreliable partners made it clear — if I wanted true quality, I had to take control. That’s when the idea of my own production was born.
In 2014, I launched my first workshop in Donetsk. Soon after, the war forced me to relocate and rebuild from scratch in a small Ukrainian town. It wasn’t easy, but with grit and faith, I started again — one machine, one team member, one step at a time.
Fast forward to today:
Our workshop is now based in Kyiv.
We’ve grown into a team of 20+ skilled specialists.
We produce for 15+ Ukrainian brands.
And we proudly export to Belgium, France, Germany, and the USA.
We’ve walked a long road — through uncertainty, war, and reinvention — but our focus never changed:
honest craftsmanship, timeless style, and respect for every detail.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
— Semen Anastasov
