The backpack of the future: French brand Arsayo creates eco-friendly, functional vegan handbags for contemporary living. The secure closure of the bag is a unique innovation, allowing wearers to feel confident while wearing these stylish yet high-performing accessories. Mindful of protecting animal welfare, the brand also donates to animal charities.

Founders

Brothers Ary and Jonathan Ohayon launched Arsayo with their father, Michel, who has been working in leather goods for over 30 years. It was Michel who created the patented closure system of Arsayo backpacks, which has been awarded by the French Ministry of Interiors. Michel's sons are both active in the animal rights movement: Jonathan, who lives in Los Angeles, founded vegan fashion museum F.A.K.E, and Ary has started an animal sanctuary outside Paris.

“Arsayo is a family story and a brand that offers products which respect animals, the environment, and human labour, while embodying family values.”
