Leatherwork

Collection

S/S 2020

Location

Polimoda, Florence

Year

2020

As part of my degree I went to Florence for two weeks in January 2020 and studied bag design at Polimoda where I learnt how to use leather. During the trip we went on industry visits to Pistolesi SRL Tannery, Montblanc Factory in Scandicci and Pitti Filati. As a part of this trip I made a visual journal on Instagram which you can view @okelycreations.

From this experience I have tried using leather in other projects too.
