In 2010, VELA's journey began in Dongguan, China — a city synonymous with precision manufacturing and craftsmanship. What started as a modest handbag workshop with a handful of skilled artisans has since evolved into one of Asia's most respected medium-to-high-end leather handbag manufacturers, proudly serving fashion brands across the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and beyond.
Today, VELA (HK) Industry Co., Ltd. operates a dual-factory structure: our Dongguan YouCheng factory handles design, development, and premium leather production, while our Cambodia-based JunBaoDa facility — founded in 2019 — manages large-scale production and export. Together, we deliver over 1.8 million units per year with a consistent lead time of 30 to 45 days.
From the very beginning, VELA was built around one core belief: quality is never negotiable. Every handbag that leaves our production floor — whether it's a structured tote, a sleek crossbody, or a hand-stitched leather clutch — is the result of meticulous attention to detail at every stage of production.
Our investment in equipment reflects this commitment. We operate Italian-imported high-capacity leather skiving machines, Japanese precision splitting equipment, computer-aided cutting systems, and over 60 sewing machines of various configurations. These are not just tools — they are the instruments through which our 800+ skilled workers bring your designs to life.
Over the past 15 years, VELA has built long-term partnerships with medium and high-end fashion brands, boutique labels, and private-label companies from over 20 countries. Our client roster spans established wholesale brands in the US and Europe to emerging luxury labels in Israel, South Africa, Singapore, and New Zealand.
What keeps our clients coming back is not just our production capability — it's our development support. VELA's team can assist brands from the earliest stages of concept development, including:
Translating design sketches into production-ready patterns
Sourcing leathers and hardware from China, South Korea, and India
Developing custom metal molds with full IP protection
Managing sampling, revisions, and bulk production under one roof
One of VELA's most distinctive strengths is our dual-factory model. Our China factory in Dongguan serves as the nerve center for all R&D, material procurement, and high-end leather production. Our Cambodia factory in Phnom Penh — spanning 6,200 square meters with 10 production lines and 700 workers — handles scaled production and finished goods export with favorable trade terms for US and European buyers.
This structure gives our partners the best of both worlds: Chinese craftsmanship and material sourcing excellence combined with the cost efficiency and tariff advantages of Cambodian manufacturing.
VELA's primary markets include the United States (50% of production output), Europe (40%), and other regions including Australia, Canada, South Africa, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Mexico, and New Zealand (10%). Our market breakdown reflects our deep understanding of what premium buyers in each region expect — from label requirements and hardware finishes to packaging standards and compliance documentation.
As we celebrate 15 years of manufacturing excellence, VELA remains committed to growing alongside our clients. Whether you are an established fashion house looking for a reliable OEM partner, a startup brand launching your first collection, or a private-label company seeking a factory that can protect your intellectual property — VELA is ready to be your long-term manufacturing partner.
We don't just make handbags. We build brands.
