At AESAERT in Ghent, you will discover handbags that are different from the rest: practical, timeless and made from the very best Belgian vegetable-tanned leather: a flexible, natural material that only becomes more beautiful over time.
Every bag is created from the same starting point: conscious luxury. No impulse purchases, but pieces that will last for years, that suit your lifestyle and that you will really use. That’s why at AESAERT you are given the time and space to make the right choice. You can try them on, compare them, ask for advice and even take a bag with you to try it out in real life.
The materials are carefully selected with attention to quality and origin. The cowhide leather is a co-product from Scotland or Scandinavia and is tanned in Belgium using vegetable methods, with extracts from mimosa and chestnut tree bark. This ensures exceptional suppleness, natural beauty and the most ecological process possible.
The designs originate in Ghent and are manufactured by a Belgian family business with its own workshop in Tunisia, which excels in craftsmanship and attention to detail. For customisation or repairs, you can visit the workshop in Ghent, where Griet Aesaert herself refines and personalises each piece.
In short, when you buy a bag from AESAERT, you are choosing timeless design, local craftsmanship and beautiful quality.
Because no two people have the same needs, AESAERT strongly believes in adaptability. Prefer silver zips? A longer strap? Extra compartments? That’s possible. The label goes as far as necessary to create a bag that suits you 100%. Occasionally a bag even takes on an emotional layer: for example, they have made linings from the shirt of a loved one. For many customers, this is a form of pure, personal luxury.
At AESAERT, you choose fairer materials, thoughtful design and authentic craftsmanship. Find out more about the collection and the manufacturing process below, or have a bag made that will be yours forever.
