Vavvoune Studio + Space
Dumbo, BrooklynVavvoune was founded through self-exploration and curiosity. Honoring my love of leather, craftsmanship, and spontaneous design. It is with great joy, imagination, and inspiration to have a space where I get to invite our customers, community, and like-minded peers to capture the essence of the brand.
Throughout the year, we plan to use the space as not only a studio for the brand but a creative hub to host curated events, small workshops, and talks directed at our community and in all sectors of the creative realm. Also a destination for one on one studio visits.
It was with great exhilaration decorating and attracted furniture, objects, and books that spoke to me and resonated with our brand narrative. An ongoing process of creative discovery, which hasn't stopped.
