MINUK is run by Hamburg-based designer Antje Arens. Her collection of bags and accessories combines distinctively chosen colors and shapes with geometrical designs. Layout of patterns and fabrics, manual screen printing and the cutting of leather straps – all steps are carried out by hand with attention to detail and quality in mind. MINUK is located in a small studio in Hamburg/Altona.

Cloth and leather strap take up very little space when folded, making them ideal for your daily life or traveling.
The vegetable-tanned (using vegetable agents) leather comes from a German tannery. During this tanning process no chromium is used. The result is a durable, high quality leather. Each strap is cut, added with square buckles and riveted by hand.
