My Story

To preserve the art of traditional leathercraft by creating enduring, meaningful pieces made by hand — a quiet stand against a world that values speed over substance and quantity over quality.

Having spent the last 20 years of my life working in IT, sitting in front of a computer screen day after day, I felt it was finally time to reconnect with my second favourite subject from school—art. Leathercraft seemed the perfect medium to reignite that creative spark. To me, leatherworking isn't just a craft; it's a form of artistic expression.

I began by acquiring essential equipment, exploring both traditional techniques and modern innovations. It didn't take long before I was completely captivated. Driven by passion, I dove into creating projects that truly resonated with me, refining each design until it felt just right. Leather tarot mats quickly became a personal favourite. Even now, as I write this, new design ideas continually spark in my imagination.

In late 2024, I converted my garage outbuilding into a dedicated, fully functional workshop. This custom-built 20m² space allowed me to design every detail for maximum creativity and efficiency. Although what once seemed a spacious haven is now already starting to feel a bit snug, it's a wonderful problem to have.

I truly hope that my passion and enthusiasm shine through in every product you receive.

  • Esoteric Research: Otiorum Studio

    The Esoteric Collection is shaped in part by an ongoing conversation with Otiorum Studio. A fellow creator whose deep knowledge of esoteric practice and symbolism keeps the work grounded in something real.

    When a new piece is in development, it's Otiorum Studio I turn to first: to sense-check an idea, to understand what a symbol genuinely means to the people who use it, and to be pointed toward the right research before anything is pressed into leather.

    The result is a collection where the symbolism is considered, not decorative.

  • Woodworking Collaboration: Richard

    Some pieces call for more than leather alone. The Triad Vessels were made in collaboration with Richard, a local woodworker whose craft shares the same values as everything made here, handmade, considered, and built to last. It's the beginning of what I hope becomes an ongoing working relationship.
