Our Products

We are inspired by functional design and structural shapes, and enjoy working with people that understand skilled craftsmanship.

We focus on using high quality materials that are natural, organic and recycled.

Our leather is tanned using a vegetal process from a traditional Italian tannery in Santa Croce, this is free from harmful chemicals such as chromium and heavy metals, which are carcinogenic instead using mimosa, bark and plant extracts instead. Although an expensive and longer process, it can take up to six weeks, this method is a cleaner method of tanning leather as the waste can be easily recycled. This leather is finished with oils and waxes, which results in its patina (colour) becoming darker as it ages.

Our interior linings are made from organic cotton, safer for the farmers and the environment, originally sourced from South America.

Recycled leather is used as an internal structural layer; this is made from off cuts from scrap leather which are remade locally into a recycled leather. Sourced from Portugal, where our Accessories are made by skilled craftspeople.
