The factory behind your leather goods. Established in 2010.

Aarons Leather is a leather goods factory in Guangzhou. Behind the products are people who choose the materials, know the craft and work together over many years.

Why Yan opened her own factory

Yan Wu worked at a leather goods stall in Guangzhou in 2006. She took over the business in 2009, when its Korean owner returned home. Repeated delays from outside factories led her to open her own factory in 2010. She learned the technical work from experienced craftspeople and designers.

What matters in our work

We want to be a factory customers return to with their next leather goods project.

Stay close to the materials

Yan personally visits leather markets around Guangzhou to select leather for our products. We believe material choices deserve this attention.

Respect the people who know the craft

We work with experienced leatherworkers. We value their knowledge and the judgement that comes from years of making leather goods.

Keep good working relationships

We have longstanding relationships with leather and hardware suppliers, as well as packaging factories. Our work depends on these people as well as our own team.

Some of our brand customers have worked with us for many years, including well-known brands. We value the chance to work together again and get to know their products over time.
