Born in Amsterdam, my creative journey began in the world of display art and visual merchandising. For 11 years, I worked internationally for Esprit, where I learned the importance of detail, materials, and experience.

After these intensive years, I chose a completely different life in Fiji—three years of island, ocean, and diving. There, I learned to appreciate simplicity. Quality over quantity. Timelessness over trend.

I've now lived in Mallorca for 25 years, where everything comes together: design, craftsmanship, and respect for materials

Handbags with a story

My handbags are made from high-quality interior fabrics sourced from luxury yachts and exclusive interiors. Fabrics that often remain unused after projects—leftover materials of exceptional quality.

Instead of letting these beautiful materials go to waste, I give them a new life.

 

The fabrics are strong, durable, and designed to last for years. You feel it. You see it. You wear it.

No mass production. No fast fashion.
But character, quality, and a story—in every bag.

mrcollectivebags is my way of bringing together my international design experience, my love of craftsmanship, and my respect for sustainability.
