About Brand
Jana Jaanson is an Estonian leather designer. She has always been fascinated working with her hands, from a young age.
Jana started the idea of her own brand while studying at Tartu Art College. She was looking for an alternative to stitches as part of her school work, at first she tested screw rivets, but then found stainless bolts. After the first tests, Jana realized that if she wanted to offer maximum quality and user-friendliness, it was necessary to use stitches in certain places, but the bolts had come to stay.
She did internships at leather design companies in Estonia and Spain.
And started her own brand at 2019.
