Volker Lang

Handcrafted leather bags, wallets, and accessories from Aachen, Germany. Founded 1983 by designer Volker Lang.

About the Brand
Volker Lang founded his brand in 1983 in Hamburg, at KAUFRAUSCH, Germany's first concept store — where he designed and sewed his first leather bag himself.
Since the mid-1990s, the company has been headquartered in Aachen, where production continues to this day.
Collections are produced in Aachen or in small production facilities in Europe — not in Asia.
Customers in Germany, London, and Paris, as well as a growing fan base in South Korea.
New Volker Lang Atelier opening directly by Aachen Cathedral on October 1, 2026, at Hartmannstraße 20-22, 52062 Aachen (until then: Heinrichsallee 66, 52062 Aachen).
Bestsellers & Signature Products
Bügeltaschen (frame bags) are Volker Lang's signature product: recognizable by the distinctive frame clasp with two balls.
The worldwide top seller is the frame bag "Lola" in Vintage Black.
Volker Lang is considered one of the first designers to develop the now widely used "calendar wallet" (Kalenderportemonnaie) format.
Currently a limited edition, MONA & LISA: 184 handcrafted bags (models MONA and LISA) as a tribute to Aachen and Charlemagne, each with a personally signed certificate of authenticity and a consecutive number.
Materials & Craftsmanship
100% Italian leather, hand-cut, hand-sewn, and hand-inspected.
Each piece is made in small batches, often by the same hands that later repair it.
Timeless, purist design with playful details — no seasonal fashion cycle.
Longevity & Care/Repair Service
Many customers have used their Volker Lang bag for over 30 years, some across generations.
In-house repair service: bags and wallets are repaired rather than replaced, including old models without a receipt.
Example repair costs: frame (Bügel) replacement max. €69, zipper slider replacement max. €20, full zipper replacement approx. €49.
