made in nyc with love and integrity
Aki Kano makes timeless, handcrafted bags with artisan design and beautiful leathers. At Aki Kano our inspiration is the Bee. Bees produce honey, are sociable, and diligent. Like the Bee, we are dedicated to create handbags that are sweet, flexible to our social calendars, and strike the balance between fashion and practicality.
Aki Kano understands a woman’s schedule. Our bags are made with multiple interior pockets, a cell phone sleeve, and a key ring holder—organization is easy, while looking effortlessly chic. From the clean silhouettes, signature ribbon-shaped zipper pulls, and periwinkle linings, Aki Kano puts love and integrity into each bag’s design. All manufacturing happens in New York City. We source the world’s finest durable leathers in timeless and pretty colors to ensure your Aki Kano bag will last for many years.
