I truly love receiving personal letters, although they have become quite rare these days as the art of letter writing seems to have faded away. It's such a shame, really. However, let me share a heartwarming experience I had on my 50th birthday: my husband surprised me with a love letter sent through the post. It was a completely unexpected and beautiful gesture that I will always treasure.
As Valentine's Day approaches, I've been contemplating something unique to create. That's when the idea of a love letter with a secret message came to mind. Valentine's Day is a celebration of love, whether it's for a partner, friend, relative, or most importantly, for yourself. It can be easy to overlook self-love and kindness, especially for those who struggle with accepting compliments.
This little white leather envelope holds a small message card so you can keep this secret close to your heart, wherever you go.
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.
Each order will be carefully wrapped and posted to you FREE of charge if in the UK. Please contact me for shipping costs anywhere else. If this is a gift and you would also like to add a message please contact me with your details.
I would love to see your photos & hear your thoughts.
