Pronounced [va- ess]

VEISSE IS A FEELING - HAPPY AND CONFIDANT, EFFORTLESS AT EASE, OFTEN EXPERIENCED WHEN DOING WHAT YOU LOVE OR WHILE TRAVELING. 

Territories worn and experienced. VEISSE creates conceptual art you can live in and with. Bags, Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry, Music, Film, and more for Life. We produce solid collections of art objects which work as a system you can explore the world in, work in while living in the present moment.

VEISSE was created because we could not find lasting products or timeless designs that fit an artistic simple lifestyle. Fast fashion left us feeling lost- in too many options. We started making clothes to fit that gap. A line you could take with you to Paris or live in while working in NYC. A solid wardrobe, easy to wear, functioning together, and ready to go to an art opening, weekend getaway, rock concert, or any event. Our pieces have style and elegance, yet an art edge. These pieces assist you in making your life more beautiful and simple.

We look for simplicity, quality, and a total wardrobe, that makes getting dressed easier, more fun, and lets you shine. We create pieces that don’t go out of style, a complete wardrobe you can keep building. Long-lasting, and versatile. These pieces Inspire and provoke dreams and realities.

We are intuitive and conceptual, sculptural and decorative, functional and inspiring, minimalist and maximalist. VEISSE can empower us as individuals to expand our capabilities. Work, walk, travel, and live in VEISSE.
