About Veshin Factory
Veshin Factory is one of the most forward-thinking leather goods producers to emerge from Guangzhou in recent years. Co-founded by British industrial designer Joey Pringle, Italian-trained fashion designer Xiao Wei, and veteran manufacturer Hongliang Yu — who has over 20 years of experience running his Guangzhou production facility, Hermia — Veshin was built with a singular mission: to prove that luxury and sustainability are not in conflict.
The operation is rooted in Guangzhou's established leather goods manufacturing ecosystem, while deliberately rewriting the rules of how that industry works. Veshin is an OEM and ODM producer specialising exclusively in next-gen and vegan material alternatives — from cactus leather and apple leather to MIRUM (a 100% plastic-free plant-based material by Natural Fiber Welding), mycelium, cork, recycled PU, recycled nylon, organic cotton, hemp, and Tencel.
Veshin has received international recognition, including a UN SDGs Partnerships listing and coverage in Vogue Business. Their global team spans Guangzhou, London, Italy, Brazil, and Colombia — and they bring that cross-cultural design sensibility directly into the manufacturing process.

Factory & Studio Tour
Veshin's Guangzhou production studio is embedded within an established manufacturing hub in Guangdong Province, drawing on decades of leather goods expertise from the region while operating under an entirely different set of values. The workspace is designed around conscious craftsmanship — material testing, 3D sampling, and R&D happen alongside production.
