Why I started Andavour
I have a great passion for beauty and functionality, and in my job as a real estate developer, I can fully express these passions. For my work, I'm often on the go, and it's essential to be able to carry my laptop and belongings with me.
The idea for Andavour was born from the desire to own an elegant and comfortable leather bag suitable for the office but versatile enough for other occasions. In my search for a suitable bag, I discovered that many bags offered comfort but lacked a refined aesthetic. In my opinion, this often compromised the overall outfit.
Many bags for men are designed for functionality, with insufficient attention given to the elegance of the bag and how it becomes a part of the complete outfit. Women's bags are often designed from a style perspective and, therefore, most often enhance an outfit.
The desire for an elegant, high-quality bag led to the idea of designing leather bags with excellent comfort that seamlessly complement various outfits. We are currently at the beginning of our journey.
