Since 2019 · Hefei

A small workshop, a slow method.

JINGJIE makes leather bags for women who would rather own four good things than forty forgettable ones.

Why we started

The studio began with a single problem: the bags we wanted — structured enough for a meeting, soft enough for a Saturday, honest about their materials — were either twice the price or half the quality. So we started making them ourselves, in a workshop in Hefei, with tanners we had worked with for years.

Every JINGJIE bag is cut, sewn and finished by hand. A tote takes a little over two days; the Bria frame bag, hand-sewn to a brass frame, takes four. We make a few hundred pieces a month.

Materials we can name

We use full-grain and pebbled Italian leather, nappa lambskin, saffiano and grained calfskin, bought from tanneries that are Leather Working Group audited. We use the whole hide — offcuts become the woven panels on the Noor and the leather tabs on our zips. Hardware is solid brass, plated and lacquered so it does not dull. Linings are cotton twill, not synthetic.

What we will not do

  • We do not use bonded or split leather and call it full-grain.
  • We do not run seasonal discount cycles that make a bag worthless the week after you buy it.
  • We do not discontinue a shape because it is not trending.

The repair promise

Every bag carries a 24-month warranty, and after that we still repair — hardware, stitching, linings, edge paint — at cost, for as long as we have the parts. Send us a photograph and we will tell you what it takes. A well-made bag should outlast the trend that sold it.
