Sabandija Writes the Next Chapter for Colombian Luxury Leather

Sabandija Heritage Bag Black Leather

Opportunity waits for no one. 

Sabandija, a family-run, luxury leather goods brand based in Colombia, has crossed the threshold from beloved, local boutique to serious contender in the lucrative global market for luxury leather goods: ready to claim a piece of the 80$ million dollar pie for themselves, and steer the limelight to Colombia's age-old leatherworking tradition, on a stage canonically dominated by Italian and French retailers. Sabandija is traversing new frontiers, and it is committed to inspiring clients to do the same– with immaculately-crafted leather products.

As Sabandija moves into international markets, quality remains the modus operandi for co-founders Daniela Arango and Pablo Atuesta, who have found an avenue for the custodianship of Colombia's cultural heritage through sophisticated and functional leather products, made from premium leather by artisans who keep the generations-old artisanal tradition alive. Self-professed aesthetes, the pair are purveyors of quiet luxury, storytelling, music and patrician pastimes, and add these passions to an alchemical blend of creativity, innovation and technical know-how to design products for the wardrobes and multivalent lifestyles of the acolytes of luxury around the world. 

Sabandija belongs to the ranks of luxury houses and brands that invests quality and exceptional attention to detail into every stage of the design and production process, proffering the denominator of luxury as an alternative to a cultural sphere saturated with logo-mania and compulsive consumption. It advocates for a renaissance of the essence of luxury: quality, expertise and passion for the craft, poured into products that transcend the revolving door of trends and stand the test of time. At a glance, Sabandija's products impart this ethos with svelte subtlety.

All intrepid souls–  entrepreneurs, creators, artists and dreamers alike– yearn for a sidekick that seamlessly synthesizes timeless style and unfaltering functionality as they search for virginal pastures in which to realize their latest idea, product or creation. Whereas pilgrims of old had camels and caravans, Sabandija crafts the consummate companion for the modern wayfarer: leather products that chronicle the successes, setbacks and miraculous moments of life over months, years and decades, a pristine canvas transformed by the gradual emergence of a collage of lines, marks and hues as unique and personal as a fingerprint, into an autobiographical masterpiece. 

Timeless and resilient, Sabandija's leather products are a catalyst of self-reinvention for anyone, anywhere, at anytime. They are made to become living documents, priceless heirlooms destined to be passed down to loved ones through the generations. For those unafraid to take the helm and embrace their role as the protagonist of their own life- a life unfolding in stages as a kaleidoscopic landscape of experiences, encounters and stories spilling over boundless horizons- Sabandija will provide the perfect companion for the journey.
