About Dunense
Three women, one workshop by the Daugava
Leather belts, wallets and bags with Latvian signs have been made in Koknese since 2000. The traditional is our ground, the modern builds on it.
01
Why Choose Just One?
We believe that both modern and traditional elements are equally important – one brings innovation and pushes boundaries, while the other provides the foundation on which this interaction can flourish. Over the years, we have built a solid foundation, making the integration and refinement of modern elements increasingly essential.
It is important to maintain both balance and harmony, which reside within each of us. We carry within us great determination and ambitious goals, which serve as our driving force.
02
Leather accessories
Throughout history and even today, belts and wallets have been an integral part of both clothing and fashion. These accessories have stood the test of time because they serve their purpose so well. Our mission is to create accessories that are visually appealing, physically durable, and embody the natural essence, creativity, strength, and spirit of the Baltic people.
Sometimes we wonder – how many Latvians already wear a belt crafted by us? Let’s support our own!

We Are Daugavieši
The Daugava River is our strength, inspiration, and opportunity – our past, present, and future. It has long enabled free travel across Latvia, fostering the growth of coastal cities, including Koknese. With the arrival of the Crusaders, the Hanseatic trade network reached Latvia, further advancing development.
Today, in the 21st century, we continue this tradition of trade, contributing to the growth of Koknese, ourselves, and Latvia as a whole.
