Making Amelia in just over a minute…
A short reel that shows some of the steps that go into making my most popular little lady. The more often I make her, the more steps I add and the more I refine.
Making her is my favourite lesson.
I did forget to film the endless sanding and polishing of edges…and a few other things. 😉

Upcycling leather offcuts!
Here is the new design in the PK range and in a minute how she’s made. Love these bags, and this one might be a new favourite.
All the PK bags are made here in my studio in Port Kemblawith leather waste from another local business, @buckarooleatherworks and my own.
I am introducing this one @themakersandshakers in June, she is not on the website yet.
And yes, in case you were wondering, I did watch Peaky Blinders while stitching…

“The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.” — Claude Monet.
The colours and textures of my leathers are all drawn from the wonder of nature that surrounds me. Some of the healthy benefits of working with leather are its tactile nature and earthy scent. I feel connected and grounded when I am in the studio working with my hands and when I have been away I find myself longing to be there. Lucky me!

I will be bringing a couple of very special AMELIA clutches to @themakersandshakers in Sydney in June!

Making a clutch bag in a minute…
Here are a few of the steps in super fast…missed filming the glueing and the skiving and more…
This is a long version of my Amelia clutch with a shoulder strap that double functions as a wristlet. She is understated and elegant and made in a gorgeous culatta with soft suede lining and completely stitched by hand.
Come and check her out @themakersandshakers in Sydney on June 13th/14th!

….this customized version of Frida.
A joy to make in this gorgeous leather. That shape is weirdly hard to photograph, it’s hard to capture her angles.
I love this pattern, lots of tweaking went into this shape.
Summing up a quite a few days of making in a few seconds…
