WHAT DRIVES US
We believe beauty lies in the details and we are for quality over quantity. Every ABURY piece is carefully designed and meticulously handmade by artisans, who dedicate their precious time and expertise. The result is unique and timeless treasures.
“The quality of the result depends on the will and pride of the craftsman, it is a team effort.” - Daniela
THE PEOPLE
We love people. They intrigue us, inspire and motivate us. Our desire to connect with humanity is what drives us and we want to hold on to the rich cultural diversity that still exists today. We value people and cultures and the aim is to empower and to bring out the best in humanity. In this sense, we practice fair salaries for everyone involved and re-invest 50% of the profits in education and community projects in the communities we work with.
“You are just not a designer, but part of an expanding family with beliefs that are focused on serving others." - Pam
THE PLANET
We are inspired by the overwhelming natural beauty of the planet. And this is why we only work with local materials. We know where our materials are produced and who is behind the process. Our leather partners are all EU certified and we try to promote conscious and responsible behavior in all of our processes. This has been one of the most challenging tasks in our projects, but we believe that with work and persistence we will fully reach our aim.
"The handbags pay homage to the arts, crafts and the people behind them."
HOW CAN YOU CARE BETTER
Did you know that 50% of the impact of a garment on the planet over its lifetime is produced by us - the person who bought it?
We didn't... So we started to connect with some experts and learned some simple basics that we would like to share with you.
Better care equals longer life (it is kind of the same with humans as well) and a reduced impact on the planet. Because we know you care as much as we do!
We partnered with AEG to create a first small guide on how to read care labels that you can download here:
