Handmade Process
THE ONE-OF-ONE PROMISE
No two are alike. Every Andrea Pintér handbag is a hand-made, one-of-a-kind creation—wearable art in its truest form.
SUSTAINABILITY
Andrea Pintér creates one-of-a-kind designs using hand-braiding, 3D flowers, hand-painted details, vintage materials, and genuine leathers. Her bold, imaginative pieces—ranging from handbags to travel bags—are as unique as they are artful.
Functional hand-braided elements.
3D flowers
Andrea's original hand-painted bags are a one-of-a-kind work of art.

ONE SET OF HANDS
A design idea becomes a pencil sketch. A sketch becomes a hand-drawn pattern. Premium leathers and materials are selected. Every step of the construction process is performed by one set of artisan's hands: Andrea's

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY
Andrea’s leather goods labeled “REAL handmade” are truly handcrafted from start to finish. While she uses antique heavy-duty Singer sewing machines for some stitching, everything else is done entirely by hand—skiving, cutting, pattern design, drawing, gluing, stitching, punching, painting, and sanding. The artwork on each bag is hand-sketched just like Andrea’s canvas pieces, then painted using water-resistant paints. Her technique ensures the artwork stays vibrant—even if you get caught in a rainstorm.
Andrea uses an awl to carefully mark the exact placement of the hand-crafted design.
