About me

My name is Ivan Penkin. I love designing and fashion and that's my passion.

With VannMen, everything started in 2016 when I saw a simple elastic harness model at Pride in Amsterdam. I said to myself, "Why don't I try to do something much better and unique?" So I bought my first sewing machine, and that's how it all began.

I try to make my handmade unique elastic harnesses and accessories not to be copies, but truly unique. I mainly use elastic materials, but I also work with eco leather, metal chains, plastic elements, and stones.

Each piece is created with passion, creativity, and love for your pride events and party moments.
