DESIGNER | EXPLORER | MAKER
​As a 4th-generation Amsterdam artisan leather bag maker, I proudly honour my family heritage through contemporary designs infused with a touch of nostalgia.
Designing leather bags and accessories is where I find my true passion and creativity.
In my studio, I immerse myself in exploring and inventing new ways to transform leather into aesthetic and timeless pieces.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I love experimenting, discovering new techniques, and finding surprising solutions that push the boundaries of leather craftsmanship.​​
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
Vegetable tanned leather, with its durability and flexibility,
is the perfect sustainable choice for my creations.
I am continually amazed by its possibilities and how it
allows me to bring my design visions to life.
Respect for craftsmanship and conscious consumption
guide every design choice I make.
My goal is for each bag to become a cherished part of your life, one that can be passed down through generations.

MY JOURNEY
In 2004, my adventure in leather goods began with the founding of leather bag label ‘Ignoor’. A fusion of Dutch ‘Ik (ben) Noor’/I am Noor and English ‘Ignore’. Ignoor stood for body-shaped bags where style and comfort were the pillars. The carrying comfort was incorporated in such a way that it could only be noticed by the user.
In 2022, I switched to work under my family name Wentholt, to better express and honour my family's rich legacy of leather craftsmanship.
