Depending on where you live, your country’s customs office may impose a few additional charges on your order: import fees, declaration fees, import duties and / or taxes.

For all online orders, all the fees required for customs clearance are the sole responsibility of the customer. These potential costs differ from country to country and will be charged upon arrival at the local customs office. INA KENT has no control over these charges.

Design & production
Collapsible

Founded in 2007, autodidact INA KENT has been responsible for our ultra-versatile designs ever since. Her own experience and careful observation provide a starting point for her creations, which keep pace with the complex demands of modern-day life. The goal is to create bags and accessories that meet the requirements of modern life and speak to all generations. Timeless designs one can intuitively reach for and wear on-the-go. From the start, we only use high-quality hides that emphasize the natural features of leather.

INA KENT stands for timeless and, at the same time, contemporary design that adapts to every situation and is worn with great joy for years. Versatility and durability are important to us. Every piece is unique, every bag shapes its own story and thus underlines the individuality of its wearer. INA KENT bags adapt to your personal needs and usually offer several carrying options. Furthermore, additional accessories are easy to combine and invite you to individualize your bag. A loyal companion for every day. Please find an overview of the multiple ways to wear your INA KENT bag on our website. Find more information here on how to transform your bag in no time.

We have always seen it as a matter of course to produce as responsibly and socially acceptable as possible. It is therefore important to us, to create products that are as timeless, durable, and flexible as possible. We select our production sites very carefully. To ensure that our partners share our values, we visit them regularly and are in close contact with the owners. We have been working with our partner in Slovakia for years and with our new production facility in Uttar Pradesh, India, a company has been found, in which not only the working and production conditions meet high standards. Respectful cooperation is also a matter of course.

We are aware that long transport routes leave a significant ecological footprint. However, as in many other production chains, the transport routes of finished products – from the production facility to the customer – are not the only ones to be considered. Transport routes taken by the raw leather hides and the individual parts required, such as carabiners or rivets, make a difference as well. In such complex processes, we strive to make the best possible decisions based on responsible evaluation and to act in accordance with our values.

Ina Kent is in constant exchange with our production partners. During her regular visits to India, she spends several days on site of the family-run business and thus has a profound insight into the production process.

The guiding principle for us is to provide the highest quality, which means: quality over quantity. In our production facilities, attention is paid to every single step of the process.

The raw hides primarily originate from Italy and France, with some also coming from India. Straps that come into direct contact with the skin are made from vegetable-tanned Italian Vacchetta leather to ensure the best skin compatibility. Additionally, our leathers with Eco Honeycomb or Eco Croc finish, all Eco Buffalo leathers, and the leather or colour variant Eco Antique Metallic Anthra are also of vegetable tanning.
