Belgian Handbag Brand: 5 Reasons to Choose Local and Ethical Bags

Updated: May 26

In a world where we can buy anything, anytime, from anywhere… choosing a Belgian handbag brand is anything but trivial.It’s a conscious decision. One that favours proximity over overproductionethics over uncertaintycraftsmanship over conformity.


At Lubay, each bag is designed, developed and handcrafted in our own studio-workshop in Belgium. No outsourcing, no faraway factories — just passionate hands, here and now. Still hesitating? Here are 5 good reasons to make your next bag a Belgian one.

1. Supporting a local, human-scale economy

Choosing a Belgian leather goods brand means supporting more than just a product — you're helping to sustain a different kind of economy. Each bag made locally helps keep a workshop alivepass on a craft, and preserve a more human rhythm.


At Lubay, everything is made in small series, directly in our own studio. Each order has a direct impact — with no compromise, no relocation.



2. Demanding quality, traceability... and meaning

When your bag is made nearby, nothing gets lost in the process — not the cut, not the material, not the finish.


At Lubay, we are in charge of everything: from the choice of innovative materials (Grape Skin®, Leap®, cork) to the final stitch.


No global supply chains, no unknown steps. Just a well-made bag, from start to finish, within reach.



3. Keeping Belgian craftsmanship alive

Belgium has no shortage of talent — or tradition.By choosing a local brand, you help preserve endangered skills: precise gestures, slow-made quality, and that invisible detail that makes all the difference.




4. Lowering your impact without compromising on style

A bag that hasn’t crossed oceans, or changed hands across continents? Yes, it exists — and it matters.

Short supply chainseco-conscious materials, and slow production are all part of who we are.



5. Choosing a transparent and committed Belgian brand

Manufacturing in Belgium isn’t just a location — it’s a commitment. It means being clear, fair, and aligned.


At Lubay, there’s nothing to hide: not the behind-the-scenes, not the decisions, not the challenges.

Each piece is the result of conscious choices, made with respect for people, materials, and your trust.



To sum it up: choosing a Belgian handbag brand means choosing better

A locally made bag is never just an accessory. It’s a statement — one that carries meaning, for you, for us, for the future.
