Who we are

Nubandine was born in Vancouver but with spirit of the Andes, where open landscapes and everyday life meet with quiet strength and simplicity. We produce unique handmade  leather goods and alpaca textile pieces designed to move with you through city streets, weekend escapes, and the spaces in between. Our style blends modern minimalism with timeless character and an adventurous soul. We connect people who value authenticity, craft, and the freedom to explore their own path

  • Our Design

    Our design starts in Vancouver, where we’re currently based. With each piece, we aim to capture the spirit of the Andes by creating versatile and functional products with a story to tell. Our Andean roots share the same mountain air, rain, and rhythm of life found in Vancouver, making our goods a natural fit for both city streets and wild landscapes of the True North.

  • Born at 2,500 meters

    Each piece is handmade in Ecuador, in the heart of the Andes, alongside our artisan whose craft carries a deep heritage of tradition. We value patience, detail, and authenticity, creating products that keep that spirit alive with a modern, contemporary touch.



  • Limited series

    We create limited series of each product, focusing on quality over quantity. Each piece is made to last, with materials and details that tell their own story. Every collection reflects the strength and beauty of nature and the connection we share with it.

Top and full Grain Leather

We choose top-grain and full-grain cow leather for their natural durability and character. These leathers age beautifully, developing a unique patina that tells the story of each journey. They are strong, breathable, and made to last, unlike corrected or synthetic leathers that wear down over time. Each hide keeps its original texture and small marks, a reminder of its authenticity. For us, it’s not just about quality but about creating pieces that evolve with you and stand the test of time.

Alpaca fibers

We use alpaca fiber because it offers exceptional performance with a natural story. The fiber is lightweight yet highly insulating, trapping warmth even in cold, damp climates while remaining breathable. It is naturally hypoallergenic (no lanolin), moisture-wicking, water- and flame-resistant, and built to last. Each piece made with alpaca connects us to Andean heritage while delivering contemporary comfort and durability.
