Finest Leathers and Skins
Couture handbags must start life as the very best whole skins that any design studio anywhere on Earth ever enjoys. My leather broker produces the top of the market jungle-print calfskins himself, owns the formula for the one-and-only latigo saddle leather that I use for all of the structural elements of my pieces and I have direct access / first pick of rare skins no one else even knows about until you walk down the street with this big bad girl over your shoulder!
Rigorously Hand Made
My designs have no sewing. Zero. Not even hand-stitches. Each piece is cut from the finished skin laid flat on a table by a craftsman with a knife. No machines in my studio. The pieces are cut-to-fit precisely and closed with hand set brass rivets. One at a time with a rivet-tool and a hammer. There is no seam to tear out. And no one can copy my designs without doing everything that we do. And they won't. Too much like work.
One of a kind. Everytime!
We make them by hand and one at a time. We have hundreds of different skins to chose from as we launch a piece onto the studio floor. The leather we use on the inside of the bag is just as sweet and expensive as the skin you first see. We constantly play with our design dimensions and why would we want to make the same thing twice? We don't. Each piece is a singular work of art. Really. When you see it. And it's you. Then don't imagine that it will be there waiting for you to decide. Make your move!
