Transparency
I go to great lengths in my sourcing and operations because I care deeply about my work and it's impacts, for you, and for the environment.
Leather
Almost all of my work is made using Italian Vachetta leather, sourced from a responsibly operated, family owned tannery. Valdibrana Conceria is a premier tannery located in Tuscany, Their expertise is in this specialty vegetable tanned leather.
​
I offer a limited number of pieces in oil tanned leather for accessibility; this is also sourced from responsibly operated tanneries exclusively located in Europe.
Hardware
Hardware quality is often overlooked, even in high end pieces, where you'll find cheap alloy metals and thin metal veneers. I source my hardware from a trusted supplier known for their solid, durable metal buckles and hardware.
​
Only metal Riri zippers are used in my work. Riri makes the world's smoothest zippers. They're Swiss-made and hand-finished.
Supplies
From burnishing gums to wax balms, the finest quality products are used in the process of finishing and constructing each piece. I primarily work with Japanese products due to their superior ingredients and results. All pieces are given a light coat of all natural balm just prior to packaging, consisting of just mink oil and beeswax.
