About Us
Established in 1958, Artkıy Leather Goods began in a modest workshop in the heart of Izmir, founded by a skilled artisan with a background in tailoring. Over time, we have evolved into a trusted manufacturer, specialising in business and travel essentials, men's and women's bags, and small leather goods. As a family-owned company spanning three generations, we are driven by a legacy of passion and craftsmanship.
We are dedicated to providing products that meet the unique needs of our clients. By blending traditional bag making with modern technology, each piece reflects the high standards of quality and precision we’ve upheld from the start. Partnering with prestigious brands, we focus on crafting durable, refined products using ethically sourced materials.
Our vision is rooted in the belief that durability and high quality are essential for sustainability in fashion. By manufacturing products designed to stand the test of time and using byproducts of the meat industry, we strive to minimize waste and encourage mindful consumption. We are also dedicated to ethical production, upholding fair labor practices and promoting equality.
With a rich history spanning over six decades, Artkıy continues to expand its B2B services, embracing innovation to enhance our offerings. Our brand celebrates the blend of timeless craftsmanship with progressive design, creating leather goods that honour our heritage while looking toward the future.
