About

Welcome to DIANNE V.

DIANNE V is a Brooklyn-based handbag brand built around thoughtful design, responsible making, and a belief in value over status.

The brand is intentionally vegan -- the "V" in our name -- and grounded in next-generation materials chosen for durability, structure, and longevity. Working with premium Italian leather alternatives and plant-based textiles allows DIANNE V to take a forward-looking approach to craftsmanship while maintaining high standards for performance and wear. Learn more about the materials we use.

Founded by Dianne Berkun—a musician, maker, and mother—each DIANNE V bag is handcrafted one at a time by the designer in her Brooklyn studio. Producing in small batches allows for careful construction, attention to detail, and a level of quality that reflects how the bags are meant to be used: daily, comfortably, and over time.

Materials are sourced exclusively from select Italian manufacturers known for exceeding Europe’s rigorous environmental and safety standards. Chosen for performance rather than trend, these materials are designed to hold their shape, wear beautifully, and remain easy to care for.

The collection balances clean, modern lines with practical function. Thoughtful pocketing, versatile strap options, and structured silhouettes support everyday use, while subtle textures and unexpected details add individuality. Neutral tones ground the designs, allowing each piece to move easily between settings and seasons.

DIANNE V reflects a forward-looking approach to craftsmanship—one that prioritizes intention over excess, longevity over disposability, and value over status.
