Well-made things take time and can’t be produced on a large scale. We made a conscious decision to only make a limited number of bags at a time to avoid overproduction and ensure the best possible quality. This means sometimes we are out of stock and you have to wait for your bag to be freshly made. We think there is a long lost charm to this.
All our bags are put together by skillful local hands that are very hard to come by. Their knowledge and experience are what makes Viva’s bags so durable and high quality, so we are committed to fair and friendly working conditions. We build strong relationships with small workshops, conveniently located just 30 km from our studio.
We are not that interested in fashion trends. We prefer small and smart buys that are special, thoughtful, and made to last. So we strive to create contemporary leather goods that are classic in design, functional by nature and match effortlessly with a strong personal style.
We want to protect our planet and are committed to sustainability in everything we do: from pared down designs from durable natural leather, to choosing to work with tanneries that purify and reuse water while avoiding harmful chemicals like chrome. We also never use plastic in our packaging and offer repair service for your bag throughout its life.
