Who am I?
Discover my story, my passion for handbags and leather
My story
I love bags, and have for as long as I can remember.
This love of bags makes me want to create some.
I then began to experiment with my sewing machine and made my first canvas models. When I left Europe for Asia, I encountered leather. From this second love at first sight,
Tangini Création , his first brand. Back in Europe, I decided to further my discovery of this material that fascinates me in the MacGregor & Michael Leatherwork workshop in Tetbury , England.
The courses I am taking are a revelation. I loved seeing the bags I dreamed of come to life, and now working with materials becomes central to my creative process. When I finally return to France, I put my training into practice by taking a CAP Maroquinerie at La Fabrique , an institution that is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
Ready to finally launch a brand that reflects me, combining both what I am and what I love;
I create the FOV Workshop.
Virginie Reineke
The FOV workshop offers unique, exclusive pieces, 100% handmade by Virginie.
From the idea, through the realization of the pattern, the leatherwork, the realization of the crochet until the assembly. Conceived as capsule collections around a model that can be declined according to its inspirations or its leather finds, sometimes recovered.
All leathers are of high quality, of European origin, REACH certified.
