All bags are designed in Antwerp and handcrafted in Italy or Tunisia. We prioritise quality materials and superior craftsmanship to ensure longevity. At lies mertens, we value innovation and strive for transparency and sustainability in every aspect of our process."How can we create something with as little elements as possible?" It's a question we constantly ask ourselves, aiming to create timeless designs by reducing superfluous components. To guarantee supreme quality, we only design a limited number of bags every year, which we perfect in aesthetics and ease of use.Brands should try to make a positive impact on the world. Lies Mertens lives by this view and therefore works with unique leather, tanned with 100% biodegradable products. Our leather comes from Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The tanneries provide full transparency and traceability to each hide.
