Bespoke Leather Tote

This is a bespoke project commissioned by a lawyer client. I managed the entire process from initial consultation to crafting the product by hand.

Moodboard

After understanding the client's needs and preferences, I created a mood board to reflect her minimalistic style and recommended a colour theme of taupe with a dash of orange.

Design

I proposed a design highlighting this aniline nappa leather's natural beauty, aligning with the client's desire for simplicity and quality. I started with studying the behaviour of this leather, then created a design leveraging its natural folds and curves. The shape and size were tailored to the client's needs while preserving the leather's innate qualities, without using any interface or padding.

The Craft

The bag was constructed by hand, with original patterns. 

Outer leather: 100% Aniline Calf Nappa leather

Inner leather: 100% Suede leather

Materials sourced from Italy
