A collection of stylish timeless leather bags, individually made, dated and signed.
Clean lines, bold colours, contemporary designs: evening bags, stylish backpacks, shoulder bags and handbags for everyday use, all handmade in London, by me.
Because I make to order, there’s very little chance that you’ll see someone else carrying the exact same piece. This also means that we can keep a tight control on quality, ensuring that our bags will last longer than those that are mass produced.
At the moment, you can purchase my bags online on our website or on Etsy; or in London, at Dazzle Exhibition, or visit me by appointment at Cockpit Arts.
Handmade to order
I design and make all my own bags, often inspired by a shape seen in nature, a sports car or a building. When you order a bag, I’ll cut the leather chosen by you and glue and stitch the parts together for a timeless and contemporary design especially MADE FOR YOU. The bag you'll get will be unique because, aside from a design that is different from what is available on the High Street (or even what big brands offer), leather is never the same, never perfect and my stitching may vary (just a bit). Your bag will be special, signed and dated inside so that you can remember the story of your purchase. A wedding, a new job, a special birthday or just the day you fell in love with that bag!
