About Songmont

Songmont is a Chinese handbag brand founded in 2013 in Beijing by user-experience designer Fu Song, a former Google employee, together with Wang Jie. The project began with a personal need, finding a practical yet stylish work bag that could fit a laptop, and the first models were stitched by her mother with skilled senior artisans from their hometown in Shanxi, an origin the brand still celebrates on its official English-language store.

Its catalogue centres on full-grain and vegetable-tanned leather bags, with collections such as Luna, Yore, Drippy and Gather, plus bag charms and small leather accessories. The design draws on traditional Chinese architecture and techniques such as Leng Bian leather weaving, and the brand sums up its philosophy as creating classic, timeless and sustainable pieces that carry the people who carry them.

With its global headquarters in Beijing and its own stores in cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, Songmont sells online to dozens of countries, with customer service on its own domain. It is one of the Chinese bag brands most followed by younger consumers and celebrities, and it represents the new wave of quiet luxury made in China.
