Our Story

At the heart of our journey lies a profound reverence for the bag, transcending its mere functionality to embody a piece of personal sanctuary, a symbol of effortless sophistication. Our bags are not just accessories; they are investments in timeless craftsmanship, seamlessly blending traditional artisanship with the sleek minimalism of Danish design.

For over a decade, we have nurtured a cherished partnership with a family-owned Italian factory, where skilled artisans meticulously handcraft each piece from locally sourced leather. This close collaboration ensures not only the highest quality but also a transparent supply chain, allowing us to cultivate a profound understanding of our social and environmental footprint.

Born in the vibrant streets of Copenhagen in 2011, Yvonne Koné emerged as a beacon of elegance under the visionary leadership of Yvonne Koné herself. Now, as we embark on a new chapter, guided by the creative stewardship of Laura M W Nørgaard, our brand is poised to redefine luxury for a modern era.

In this transformative moment, we embrace simplicity and timelessness as our guiding principles. As we transition to KONÉ, by fall 2024 we pay homage to our rich heritage while embracing a renewed sense of purpose and vision. 

It is not just a rebranding – it is a declaration of our commitment to elevate the everyday, to redefine what it means to carry a piece of timeless elegance with you wherever you go. 

Welcome to the new era of KONÉ.
