About
KONÉ is a Copenhagen-based accessory brand redefining luxury through honest values, timeless design, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Founded on the belief that true luxury lies in integrity and intention, KONÉ creates elegantly refined pieces that exude sophistication through meticulous craftsmanship and purposeful detail, never excess.
Rooted in the purity of Danish minimalism and expertly crafted in Italy by skilled artisans, each accessory embodies a refined balance of aesthetics and lasting function. Honest luxury at its finest—a considered approach where beauty, purpose, and tradition meet.
Founded in 2011 by Yvonne Koné, the brand was born from a vision to create handcrafted leather bags in Italy, guided by a distinctly Danish sense of aesthetics.
In March 2024, Yvonne stepped away and concluded her involvement with the company, marking the beginning of a new chapter for KONÉ. Today, the brand continues to evolve under a renewed creative direction — anchored in its heritage, yet focused on the future.
KONÉ is led by Creative Director Laura M. W. Nørgaard (right) and Head of Brand Louise Kabbelgaard (left).
Our design DNA is rooted in a clear dogma that reflects our core approach: clean lines, simplicity, and strong aesthetics.
We minimize the use of metal components, as they are often the first to break. This challenges us to develop innovative strap and handle solutions—enhancing both durability and our commitment to refined minimalism.
The more we simplify and restrict the design framework, the greater the creative playground becomes for exploring bold approaches to fabric and color without the final result feeling overwhelming.
This philosophy allows us to continue creating beautiful products that remain timeless yet contemporary.
