My earliest memory is walking through my father’s tannery, hand in hand, watching hides transform into heritage leather. I grew up in the world of leather — my grandfather was a tanner, my father Mr. Noorul Hasan ran F W Fashion Craft, supplying leather bags and wallets to global markets. We were manufacturers — quietly crafting beauty behind the curtain.
But something never felt right.
I saw luxury goods we made being sold at unbelievable markups. I saw brands profiting while artisans went unseen. I experienced unethical practices, pricing that excluded everyday people, and a system that offered no space to innovate. So I created VILL OKSE — a brand built to tell the real story.
"Vill" stands for village — people from
different paths coming together. "Okse" stands for ox — symbol of strength, tradition, and the leather trade.
We believe:
Luxury should be transparent
Craftsmanship should be celebrated
Quality should be affordable
VILL OKSE is our rebellion against fast fashion and overpriced leather. It’s our love letter to the artisans. It’s a new chapter for honest, inclusive luxury.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
