NaSoNgo is a slowfashion-accessory-label created by the franco-german Designer Sonja Göggelmann in 2015.
Her work is all about the passion for leather. The materials used all originate from Italy, France and Germany and are carefully selected.
As she says herself: « The special fascination of leather is its vitality and warmth. It tells stories with its characteristic pores and maybe even little scars. They are not a deficiency, it just shows the authenticity and indiviuality of the material. Thereby we should not forget that leather is the skin of an animal, that has to be treated with respect and dignity. »
Therefore she taps the full potential of every piece of leather so that the NaSoNgo collection extends in many different accessories.
Every piece is unique, thoroughly manufactured and expresses the affection she has for her work.
To preserve the authenticity of the high quality leather a lining is obsolete and can be perceived by the touch and smell of each article inside and outside.
It is Sonja‘s goal that her clients have as much enjoyment of wearing her bags and using her accessories as she has of fabricting them.
Her inspiration draws first and former from the materials and her love to experiment and reinvent the use and signification of objects.
NaSoNgo‘s philosophy is creating elegant, simple and intelligent solutions combinig comfort and a nice touch.

WHAT IS UPCYCLED LEATHER ?
Upcycled leather stands out as a comprehensive solution in the sustainability competition. Crafted from discarded, high-quality leather pieces that would otherwise contribute to landfill waste, upcycled leather addresses multiple facets of environmental impact. It not only reduces waste but also diminishes resource consumption, offering a holistic answer to sustainability challenges. The unique strength of upcycled leather lies in its ability to match the durability of traditional leather while introducing distinctive twists and a trend-setting flair absent in mass-produced items.
The selected materials undergo a meticulous sorting process, where damaged or unsuitable pieces are set aside, ensuring only the highest-quality leather is utilised in the upcycling journey. However natural markings on leather - like scars the animal gets from the wild, from fences to insect bites etc are no deficiencies but proof of its authenticity.
