About nude.by

Handmade leather bags and goods. Pure and simple in both design and style. Made with love and care in my studio in Amsterdam. Crafted as it was done before the days of mass production.

nude.by… encourages less consumption and therefore buying things that last. For that reason, the items, all exclusive pieces, are designed and made to serve you a lifetime.

This slow collection is created and crafted by me, Jony van Hees. Born in Korea, I was adopted and grew up in the Netherlands. Based in Amsterdam, I worked as a film and commercial producer for 20 years.

A need for change inspired me to go traveling. Exploring, surfing, and learning the craft of making leather goods, I spent a year and a half in places like Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, and Portugal, ending my trip to Korea to embrace my birth family.

Discovering my roots, the journey opened up a new chapter in life. Taking the b and the y from my original Korean name Bo Yoon, nude.by… was born.

Coming full circle and returning to Amsterdam after finding love, I resettled in the city. Continuing my story at a less faster pace, exploring slow living in all its aspects.
