Founded by designer Valerie Blaise, Vavvoune (pronounced vav•une) stands as a beacon of leather bag and accessories craftsmanship rooted in Brooklyn, New York. Our collection is a heartfelt expression, meticulously crafted to evoke emotion. Each piece embodies curiosity, individuality, and nostalgic moments, igniting a sense of connection in every wearer.

All our designs take shape within the walls of our studio. When it's time to bring them to life, we collaborate closely with our dedicated team of artisans in the heart of New York City's garment district. With our design codes in mind, we breathe new life into premium leathers discarded by ultra-luxury brands, while thoroughly sourcing all materials to ensure unparalleled quality.

Our mission is to redefine the narrative surrounding leather, offering our customers a safe space to reconsider their relationship with it. Learn more about our sustainability practices by clicking here.

The Name Vavvoune finds its roots in a cherished nickname from Valerie's upbringing in Haiti. Refusing to let this beloved name fade into memory, its essence is reborn in every creation we craft.
