Natural leather is extremely beautiful and durable. I have designed all the bags and shoes here myself. About how I design my bags, I simply take the measures of a bag I like and considering the type and colour of the leather and the purpose of the bag, design it. About shoes, I take a shoe last based on the type of shoes I want and then design it considering standards. I used materials like wood and fabric in some of my works as I wanted to achieve a different product. I would like to mention that I love leather but I am strongly against animal cruelty and believe humans are overconsuming nature. To keep the creators’ rights, I should say that the only products I used available patterns for are the small backpack, the brown sandal, and the turquoise shoes.
Bags
I think my fur bag is really elegant, in all modesty 🙂 . About the side handle holder photo, I put it to say I design every single piece of bags according to their main shape.
I love nubuck as it’s soft and really tough at the same time. The nubuck bags I made in 2014 or even before are still in good shape and just not as new, which is amazing in my opinion and worth the time spent on them.
I wood-burned the wood-leather bag myself, as laser burning commonly done these days is not as neat and delicate yet. The patchwork leather bag is the other side of the patchwork nubuck bag in the previous gallery. I made it from small pieces of leather and enjoyed the puzzle challenge before enjoying having a bag that goes with many different clothes.
Shoes
Stepping into the shoe world taught me a lot about my feet. Although it was time-consuming to learn the basics of making a pair of shoes it was worth it, as it will help me choose proper shoes for the rest of my life.
