WELCOME TO THE ARTISANAL LEATHER ATELIER OF 0.HIDE
0.hide is a Dutch artisanal leatherwork studio dedicated to handcrafted leather goods, made slowly and intentionally using high-quality natural hides. Working from its atelier in the Netherlands, the brand focuses on small-batch, hand-finished leather pieces with raw textures, traditional craftsmanship and a deep respect for material honesty. Each creation highlights the tactile beauty of vegetable-tanned leather, natural grain variations and unique markings that develop a rich patina over time.
Inspired by nature, avant-garde design language and sculptural minimalism, 0.hide creates timeless leather accessories and handcrafted objects built to age gracefully with use. Every piece reflects patience, thoughtful construction and the quiet strength of genuine artisanal leatherwork — a counterpoint to fast production and mass-market uniformity.
A PHILOSOPHY ROOTED IN NATURE AND RAW MATERIALITY
0.hide embraces the inherent character of natural leather. Instead of hiding imperfections, the brand celebrates scars, variations, creases and tonal differences — viewing them as authentic traces of the material’s life. This approach places 0.hide firmly in the tradition of vegetable-tanned leather, material purity and slow-made craftsmanship. The natural behaviours of leather — its ability to patina, soften and shift over time — are central to the brand’s identity.
The aesthetic of 0.hide merges minimalist silhouettes with organic textures, resulting in leather goods that feel sculptural yet understated, expressive yet quiet.
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS & ARTISANAL TECHNIQUES
The atelier works exclusively with high-quality, sustainably sourced leather, often vegetable-tanned in small European tanneries using natural dyes and metal-free processes. Each hide is inspected by hand, cut with precision and shaped using traditional hand-tooling, burnishing and edge-finishing techniques. Because of this process, every item is inherently unique — no two surfaces, grains or shades are ever identical. This approach honours the craft of leather working as well as the natural integrity of the hide.
HANDCRAFTED IN THE NETHERLANDS: SMALL-BATCH LEATHERWORK
Every piece from 0.hide is made by hand in the brand’s own atelier in the Netherlands. The process is intentionally slow: cutting, molding, stitching and finishing are all performed meticulously by the same maker. Many items are produced made-to-order, reinforcing the values of low-waste production and personal craftsmanship. This small-batch method ensures quality, longevity and structural integrity — allowing each piece to age beautifully and gain character through use.
MINIMALISM WITH STRUCTURE, TEXTURE & QUIET TENSION
0.hide’s design language blends minimalism with a tension between structure and organic irregularity. Silhouettes are clean and architectural, while surfaces retain the natural nuances of the hide. Influences of brutalist art, raw textures, tension lines and sculptural form appear throughout the work, making each piece feel like a functional object with artistic presence.
The result is a collection of leather goods that speak in a quiet, powerful vocabulary — refined, tactile and enduring.
A SELECTIVE, CONSIDERED PRESENCE WORLDWIDE
0.hide chooses to remain highly selective in distribution. Its pieces appear only in carefully curated concept stores around the world that value craftsmanship, material integrity and slow fashion. This curation mirrors the brand’s ethos: intentional, thoughtful and deeply connected to the craft.
LEATHERWORK AS A PERSONAL CONNECTION
Above all, 0.hide is about connection — between craft and material, between maker and object, and between object and wearer. Each piece invites the owner to form a personal relationship with the leather as it evolves, patinas and absorbs life.
These are not simply accessories, but long-lasting companions shaped by time and touch.
