VIGO accessories are inspired by the intricate beauty of ornamentation, nature, and the timeless art of traditional crafts that have endured since antiquity.
These crafts, deeply rooted in the nomadic cultures of Central Asia, have not only remained but also perfected the techniques of felt-making and hand-woven rugs.
In 2012, this specific style of rug weaving was recognized by UNESCO as a cultural heritage.
Crafting a VIGO bag demands the passage of all four seasons. The entire process begins with the shearing of sheep grazing in the Tian Shan Mountains and culminates with the final stitching in our workshop in Moscow. Each bag is a testament to the artistry of handcraft and the spirit of inspiration.
The process of creating VIGO accessory is entirely handmade. It starts with sketching the ornament design for the future bag and ends with the final stitch.
