A BRAND BY VIETNAMESE CRAFTSMAN

Thanhsimone is a vietnamese brand of high-grade handmade leather goods.
‍
The founder is a landscape architect – Le Thanh.
When she was a student at Hanoi University of Architecture, during her survey visits, she was attracted by leather bags that she saw by chance on the streets. Handmade leather bags make a deep impression on her.

Then, she learned to make a bag from leather and craft tools
by herself. From leather goods for herself to those she gave to her friends, she always has the objective of establishing an artisanal leather goods workshop.
‍
thanhsimone's inspiration originated in the handmade leather industry in France. Interested in plant life and enchanted with the elegant beauty from France, LeThanh sets her heart on defining a new style: combining the classicism with modern trends with the “architectural elements”.

A CREATION FROM LIFE

WHILE LIVING IN FRANCE, SHE STILL SPENT TIME ON HER PASSIONFOR HANDMADE LEATHER GOODS. IT WAS LIKE A THERAPY TO HELP HER RELAX AND REFILLTHE POSITIVE ENERGY.
‍
DURING THE DAY, SHE STUDIED AND WORKED. IN THE EVENING, SHE CONTINUED TO EARNAND MAKE LEATHER GOODS. AT THAT TIME, SHE WONDERED HOW TO CREATE A UNIQUEPRODUCT FROM LEATHER THAT WOULD NOT MAKE MUCH NOISE AND WOULD KEEP QUIETTO NOT DISTURB HER BELOVED NEIGHBORS.
‍
SHE TRIED A NEW WAY: ASSEMBLING PIECES OF LEATHER AND FORMING A BAG OR ACOMPLETE ITEM WITH NO STITCHING -
THERE IS NO NEED TO USE A HAMMER TO CREATE HOLES FOR STITCHING – NO HAMMERINGSOUND.
‍
RETURNING TO VIETNAM IN 2020, LE THANH SET UP A CRAFT WORKSHOP IN SAIGON CITY.

TOGETHER WITH THE THANHSIMONE TEAM, SHE HAS CREATED UNIQUE AND FEATUREDLEATHER DESIGNS, PARTICULARLY USING HIGH-QUALITY VEGETABLE-TANNED LEATHER.
