The story in 5 chapters
How Velvinci came to be
Read it top to bottom; the number on the left follows you.
Chapter 1 · The city
Marrakech has worked leather for centuries
In its tanneries and in the small workshops of the medina, leather has been cut, stitched and finished by hand for generations. It is a city where good leather goods are a trade passed from hand to hand, not a production line.
Chapter 2 · The idea
A Marrakech bag, sold honestly
We wanted to bring that craft to people in the USA, Europe and beyond without the surprises that usually come with buying abroad: no customs bill at the door, no hidden shipping costs, no unclear returns. One price, with import duties included.
“We wanted a bag we would be proud to carry ourselves: made by hand in Marrakech, from leather that lasts, and sold at one honest price with nothing to pay at the door.”The Velvinci atelier
Chapter 3 · The hands
Made and stitched by hand
Every Velvinci bag is made at our atelier in Marrakech, and every seam is stitched by hand. Our artisans prefer to stay private, so you meet their crafts and their hands at work, never their faces.
We use full-grain leather, the strongest layer of the hide with its natural surface left intact. Handles are reinforced with extra stitching, and rivets on some bags, because that is where a bag carries its weight.
Every bag comes with a 2-year guarantee on its stitching, hardware, handles, straps and edges, and 30 days to send it back for free if it is not the one. A little care keeps the leather supple for years.
Velvinci is a trading name of Parafresh LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company in the USA. Our bags are made by hand at our atelier in Marrakech, Morocco.
Where is Velvinci from?
Our bags are made in Marrakech, Morocco, a city with a long leather tradition. We sell them online to the USA, the 27 EU countries, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the UAE, Switzerland, Norway and Hong Kong.
Is Velvinci a real brand I can trust?
Yes. You buy from Parafresh LLC, a registered US company. Every order ships with tracking, import duties are included in the price, returns are free for 30 days and every bag carries a 2-year guarantee.
Why are import duties included in the price?
So you never pay a surprise customs bill at your door. The price you see is what you pay, apart from US sales tax where it applies.

Every bag we make starts a new one with whoever carries it.
