A vintage vegan leather handbag, reworked by hand in the studio with a spiral of silver-tone studs.

Each piece is sourced second-hand and altered individually, giving new life to an object that has already been carried, used and shaped by time. The spiral is set by hand, a form that appears often in the studio’s work, a reminder of movement, return and growth.

Because these bags are vintage, gentle signs of wear may be visible in the vegan leather, inner lining or hardware. This particular piece also has a small nick to the strap and a few repaired punch marks to the base from previous hardware placement. All pieces remain fully functional. These marks are subtle, have been reflected in the price, and contribute to the character of the piece.

Each bag is one of a kind. Once sold, it will not be repeated.

A return to making

This collection sits within a wider return to craft for me. This year my focus has shifted toward making with hands rather than screens, toward time, material and repetition. I'm interested in working with existing objects and giving them a second life, altering them slowly by hand rather than producing something new. These bags are part of that movement back toward the analogue.

Care

This is a vintage piece designed to continue its life in use. The material can be gently wiped clean with a soft cloth if needed. Light signs of wear may develop over time as part of the bag’s ongoing story.

Hands mixing a face mask in a handmade ceramic bowl

I started out making things to help people slow down. These days I’m more interested in what comes after that: making with your hands, being in a room with people, and things you actually use rather than save for best.
