Frequently asked questions

What does Zhosie make?
Zhosie makes leather belts and handbags by hand in Luoyang, China. The collection covers full-grain leather belts and women’s handbags, each piece made by one artisan from cutting to finishing.
What kind of leather does Zhosie use?
Belts are cut from full-grain, vegetable-tanned hides at 4 mm or thicker, because a belt sits under tension every day and needs dense fibre so the holes do not stretch. Handbags use top-grain and full-grain chrome-tanned leather chosen for drape and low empty weight.
Are Zhosie products handmade?
Yes. Every Zhosie piece goes through 47 individual steps and is made by a single artisan, rather than moving along an assembly line.
Where is Zhosie located?
Zhosie is based in Luolong District, Luoyang, Henan, China.
How do I place an order or ask a question?
Browse our leather belts, handbags, wallets and footwear, then message us on WhatsApp at +86 188 3829 7043 for sizing guidance, help choosing a leather, or a made-to-measure request. We reply with a secure payment link within one business day, or email hello@zhosie.com.
How should I care for a leather belt or handbag?
Condition untreated full-grain leather twice a year, in spring and autumn. Wipe finished top-grain leather with a barely damp cloth and condition it once a year. Never dry leather with a hairdryer, heater, or direct sun — rapid drying is what cracks leather, not water itself.
