This year at the Modefabriek (fashionfair in Amsterdam) there was a special place for unique design from Belgium. One of the exhibitors I found there, was the baglabel Alex Schrijvers who showed beautiful handcrafted leather bags.


The bags are both completely designed ánd produced in Belgium with leather which has been tanned in West-Vlaanderen. Special features are the sublime material, the creative design and the good prizes. The bags are timeless and modern and he designs not only for women but also brings a few unisex styles.
All bags are lined and have an innerpocket, a cellphone-compartment and a keychain; very handy!!
Some bags will soon be shown in bagmuseum Hendrikje in Amsterdam.

The collection is shown at the site of Alex Schrijvers, www.alexschrijvers.be Read More
