About Us

We are Amsterdam Heritage. A contemporary premium lifestyle brand founded in 2016 by Frido van Mossel. Born from a love for craftsmanship and modern freedom, we bridge European artistry with the effortless spirit of American fashion.

Now a team of internationals from around the world, we share one goal: to make premium leather pieces accessible to everyone. We aim to do this by creating responsibly: using leather as a byproduct and producing many of our pieces made to order rather than in large batches. That means fewer errors, less waste, and a product made just for you: a true luxury in today’s world.

We believe in buying once, wearing for a lifetime, and passing pieces down through generations. One of our goals is to become even more sustainable, growing step by step, with honesty and care.

Our mission? We don’t want you to feel like an outsider looking in on a glamorous, untouchable world. We love fashion not because it makes us better, but because it connects us, to each other, to optimism, and to the joy of self-expression. We’re building a community where style isn’t just about how you look, but how you feel, confident, seen, and part of something real.

Premium, European-made leather goods shouldn’t be unattainable.
And with us, they aren’t.

We’re best known for our leather goods: belts, bags, jackets, and accessories, all crafted from the finest Italian leather. Our belts have become our signature: made in the Netherlands by skilled craftsmen, we take pride in these timeless pieces that age beautifully and carry the soul of true craftsmanship.

Our philosophy is rooted in heritage, authenticity, and timeless design. 

At Amsterdam Heritage, we see style as a second skin: meant to be lived in, not just worn. Where European tradition meets American spirit, we create fashion that’s built on craft, culture, and modern freedom.

about the founder - how the brand started

Dutch entrepreneur Frido van Mossel founded Amsterdam Heritage to unite European craftsmanship with the ease of the American lifestyle. The idea was born while he was studying in the United States, where his European sense of style sparked curiosity and admiration. That experience revealed how fashion can connect cultures.

What began with two suitcases of shirts sold on the beaches of Miami grew into a transatlantic brand that celebrates heritage, authenticity, and timeless design. Frido believes that the real magic happens when cultures intertwine, when tradition and freedom meet to create something new.

Today, Amsterdam Heritage continues to reflect his vision, a tribute to craftsmanship, culture, and connection, inviting people everywhere to wear a piece of heritage that feels both rooted and free.
