The Western Influence

Western-inspired fashion has become a recognisable part of contemporary bohemian style, with suede, leather and fringed details bringing elements of traditional ranch clothing into modern wardrobes. Dutch label Treasures Design explores this influence through handcrafted leather garments and accessories.

From the Netherlands to Bali

Founded in 2008, Treasures Design combines Dutch design with artisanal production in Bali, Indonesia.

The label specialises in leather and suede garments, particularly fringed jackets, ponchos, waistcoats and bags. Its collections draw on the visual language of western clothing while adapting traditional details for contemporary fashion.

The connection with Bali is an important part of the brand's identity. Treasures Design works with local artisans who produce the garments using established leatherworking techniques.

Rather than concentrating on seasonal trends, the label develops pieces around distinctive materials, decorative finishes and recognisable silhouettes.

Suede, Fringes and Western Details

Fringes originally served practical purposes on certain forms of leather clothing, including helping rainwater run off garments. Over time, they also became decorative features associated with western dress, rodeo clothing and later the counterculture fashion of the 1960s and 1970s.

Treasures Design incorporates these influences into soft suede wraps, leather jackets and accessories.

The emphasis is on the texture and movement of the material. Long fringes introduce a decorative element to otherwise simple shapes, while earthy shades such as cognac, tobacco and chocolate brown reference the traditional colours of leather.

A fringed suede jacket can be worn with denim, a cotton dress or tailored trousers, making western-inspired clothing adaptable to different personal styles.

The appeal of these garments lies in the combination of traditional leatherworking and a contemporary interpretation of western fashion.
