3. Are your bags still handcrafted?

Yes! Every Tonē Bekka bag is still handcrafted, now by skilled artisans in New York who specialize in luxury leatherwork. The difference is that instead of being made one-by-one solely by Jovanna, our bags are produced by a small, highly skilled team that upholds the same standards of quality and care that built our brand.

4. Why did you decide to move into manufacturing?

After 10 years of handcrafting each bag myself, it became clear that in order to serve our customers with consistency and availability, I needed to go beyond my own two hands. Partnering with select manufacturers allows us to scale responsibly while maintaining our heritage of quality, artistry, and intentional design.

5. Where are the bags made?

All Tonē Bekka bags are manufactured in New York, by artisans who specialize in fine leather goods. We chose a domestic partner to ensure we can oversee production closely and uphold the standards our customers expect.

6. What materials do you use?

We source premium leather and hardware from trusted suppliers. Each hide is selected for its durability and beauty, and our hardware is chosen to complement the design while lasting for years of everyday use.

7. How often do you release new bags?

We release bags in small, intentional drops, ensuring each style is timeless and not driven by fast-fashion trends. These drops sell out quickly, so we recommend joining our email list to be the first to know when a new collection is launching.

8. Will the price of the bags change now that they’re manufactured?

Our pricing reflects the same high quality materials and craftsmanship as before. Manufacturing allows us to create bags in small batches with consistent quality control, so you’re receiving a product that meets luxury standards without compromising on integrity.

9. How do I care for my Tonē Bekka bag?

Store your bag in its dust bag when not in use.
Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight or moisture.
Use a leather conditioner as needed to maintain suppleness.
Avoid overstuffing your bag to preserve its shape.

Yes! Many of our new bags are available for pre-order so you can secure yours before they sell out. Pre-orders also allow us to manage small-batch production responsibly.

11. Can I return or exchange my bag?

13. Is this Vegan leather?

No! Absolutely not. All leather products are genuine leather. I source it my leather from Columbus as well as all over the United States and overseas. Although Vegan leather is less expensive it is of lower quality than real leather which makes it a lot less durable than real leather and due to its thinness, it's more likely to break, crack and scuff over time. "Vegan Leather" that is made of plastic-based leather alternatives, while not directly harming animals in the production process, can still take years to degrade, which is harmful to the environment.
