Every piece carries a part of my journey.
Crafted with Time, Care, and Intention

I'm Seohyun Choi, the Korean crafter behind Atelier Sonya Choi.
In 2019, while living in Seoul, I wanted to make something small: an AirPods case. I really loved working with leather and that hobby turned into an obsession by opening my own leather workshop in Seoul in 2021. In 2023, I moved to Switzerland to start a family. The change of place brought new challenges, but also new perspectives that enrich my craft today.
The minimalist, metropolitan mindset from Korea, and the precision, beauty of Alpine landscape inspire me.
I hope that one day, when a grandchild opens a family storage box, they’ll find our leather piece inside—still sound, still beautiful—and smile at the life it has seen.
Crafted to belong
Made to Last. Meant to Matter.
Intentionally yours.

Our Mission
At the heart of our brand lies a belief in meaningful creation. We craft timeless leather pieces not just to be used—but to be lived with. Born from the joy of making what we truly need and cherishing it over time, our mission is to offer others that same experience: owning objects made just for them, shaped by their lives, and loved for years to come.
We honor the principles of authenticity, craftsmanship, and timelessness, creating with intention—not excess. Every stitch is a quiet invitation to choose quality over quantity, individuality over trends, and a deeper connection with the things we carry every day.

Our Vision
To inspire a deeper relationship with the everyday—through objects made to endure, to reflect individuality, and to bring quiet joy over time.
We envision a world where fewer, better things accompany us—lovingly made, consciously chosen, and deeply valued.
Authenticity
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, designed to reflect your individuality
Craftsmanship
Choosing quality over quantity — every detail is stitched by hand, never rushed
Timelessness
Leather that ages beautifully, becoming part of your story over the years
