We believe silence is a new luxury in noisy times. NOWIŃSKA is a niche brand of customisable handbags crafted in line with silent and refined craftsmanship. We create high-quality bags made of sustainably sourced leather. By selling directly through our own channels, we skip the middle costs and make high-end products affordable.
Each NOWIŃSKA bag is proudly made in Warsaw,
in small workshops by artisans who stay true to their traditional craft.
We are mindful of how we may affect the environment.
We care about who we partner with.
We focus on sustainability by sourcing excess leather stock from renowned Italian factories designed for major brands that were unable to utilise the stock.
By using surplus materials we reduce the environmental impact caused by the leather tanning process.
We turn a leftover into a durable product.
We manufacture locally in Poland and make sure each NOWIŃSKA bag conforms to fair trade principles
We love to see how you style your NOWIŃSKA bag, so tag us on Instagram.

We reuse surplus leather which was produced by renowned Tuscany tanneries.
Our bovine leather is a byproduct of the meat and dairy industry. Our vegetable tanned leather avoids the use of toxic substances like chrome VI and our hardware is also made from low-lead natural brass.
We offer free product care services like repairing or cleaning on all our products.
We support local communities.
Our handbags are made in limited quantities by a small factory in Poland and our straw bags are handwoven by women from Sarawak in Borneo.
W Polsce dyskutuje się ostatnio o wprowadzaniu klientów w błąd przez marki modowe, które mimo zapewnień, że szyją lokalnie, posiłkują się gotowcami z Azji. Mieszkałam w Chinach, w Polsce i we Włoszech, byłam w wielu szwalniach w każdym z tych krajów, więc złapałam swoją subiektywną perspektywę, którą chcę się z Wami podzielić.
Strategię i odświeżenie marki NOWIŃSKA przemyślałam i przygotowałam przed wybuchem epidemii. I wiecie co? Kiedy świat nagle wywrócił się do góry nogami, stwierdziłam, że obecnie nic bym nie zmieniła, nie dodałam na stronie żadnej linijki tekstu, niczego nie zmieniłam, ani nie nagięłam pod obecną sytuację. To tylko jeszcze bardziej utwierdziło mnie w przekonaniu, że to co robię ma sens i płynie prosto z serca.
Funny enough, me being a YouTuber sounds like a joke. I am not technical, I am not a computer geek, and I am introvert. But I had a dream to empower creative women by sharing inspiring stories to show that we all struggle at times and we are not alone in or challenges. I had a chance to encounter these wonderful women on my way somewhere around the world.
I happened to find myself in completely new circumstances many times in the past. I’ve been moving around a lot and easily stepping out of my comfort zone. However, the biggest challenge I faced so far in terms of major lifestyle changes was moving from Warsaw to Shanghai in 2012.
