What to know about Wandler

Geometry does the talking

The bags are built on sculptural, hard-edged shapes with gold hardware — the trapeze Hortensia debut, then the Penelope, Kate, Veneto and Luna families.

Italian leather, Veneto workshops

Everything is cut from Italian calf leather and made in Veneto, the same region that supplies much older and larger luxury leather houses.

Bags first, then square toes

Footwear only arrived in 2019, in square-toe boots and mules, and the label has since added leather and denim trousers alongside the accessories.

Brand facts

Wandler is a contemporary leather goods label founded in Amsterdam in 2017 by Elza Wandler, a Dutch designer who previously worked at Levi's Made & Crafted. Bags are cut from Italian calf leather and produced in Veneto, built on sculptural, geometric shapes and gold hardware: the trapeze Hortensia debut, plus the Penelope, Kate, Veneto and Luna families and the Anna belt bag. Footwear followed in 2019 with square-toe boots and mules, and the range has extended into leather and denim trousers. Still designer-owned and independent.
