Founded in 2004 in Rotterdam by graphic designer Carolien Vlieger and industrial designer Hein van Dam, Vlieger & Vandam is a Dutch luxury accessories label rooted in interdisciplinary design. The brand was born from the unexpected success of their 2002 "Guardian Angel" project—a tongue-in-cheek response to media sensationalism around street violence, featuring second-hand bags with brightly colored felt embossed in the shape of a handgun or kitchen knife.
