— Bruno Balandis

Balandis Atelier is an independent leather goods brand and one-person workshop based in Przemyśl, Poland, founded and run by Bruno Gołąbek. The studio creates premium bags by hand, combining traditional craft with original, individually developed designs. Each project begins at the workbench with sketches and cardboard prototypes; the construction is adapted to the characteristics of the leather rather than based on ready-made patterns.

The bags are made exclusively from natural hides sourced from established European tanneries, selected for each design to highlight their individual qualities. Solid brass fittings are also part of the brand’s approach. Collections are produced in limited quantities, reflecting the distinctive availability of materials and the time required to make each piece. The Atelier’s featured Drop offers one bag form in three color options, with limited stock.

Alongside its main bag collection, Balandis Atelier offers leather belts, accessories, and smaller leather goods made according to the same craft principles. The brand presents itself as an alternative to mass production, emphasizing independent workmanship rooted in Przemyśl.
