When I was a kid I had a favourite T-shirt, it had a mushroom house on it with a little gnome. I don't quite know what happen the T-shirt but the image is stuck in my mind for years. Maybe it's because I love all those vintage prints that you get with funky fungi on them, they make me feel nostalgic. So I wanted to make a bag with my own interpretation of all these patterns. I was lucky to find some lovely soft dusky pink leather that would compliment my design and my 70s inspired colour palette. 
 
This bag is Practical and spacious, it’s fully lined with cream leather including a deep pocket and studs on the bottom to protect it. 
 
Each piece of leather is cut by hand and meticulously fitted together using my unique leather marquetry technique. To emphasize sustainability, I source recycled black leather from damaged garments that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. Only the finest sections of the leather are chosen and carefully cleaned for repurposing.
 
Once all the leather pieces are assembled, I stitch them together using my trusty companion, 'Gerty', a 1960's Pfaff rolling-foot sewing machine. Finally, I add the finishing touches to bring the piece to life.
