Originally trained in fine art painting and printmaking, I spent years as a practising artist, I have a deep passion for blending shape, colour, and texture to craft stunning surfaces, a quality that is reflected in my designs.
My leather work embodies the idea of wearable art. Each piece is meticulously hand-painted, with layers of colour built up to create depth, often enhanced by the addition of studs, tassels, and textile elements, making each bag unique.
Every item is finished with a clear sealant that not only protects the painted surface but allows the piece to evolve over time. As the bags are used, different areas will wear uniquely, resulting in a dynamic surface that continually transforms. These bags are made with a lightweight, "Veg Tanned" leather. I work with my material and allow the natural shapes or marks in the leather to inspire me.
These bags were created in collaboration with Hibiscus Ibiza for the S/S 2025 collection, using colours and detail elements from Isobel Websters print.
