Leather Collection
Dynamic shapes and supple textures in the form of outerwear, handbags, and layering pieces.
Our inaugural collection consists of vegetable tanned leather from Chicago’s Horween tannery, a unionized shop.
The vegetable tanning process is completely natural (in contrast to the toxic chrome-tanning process typical in the fashion industry) and highlights the variations inherent in each hide. Horween’s leather is especially prized for its variegated highs and lows, its soft hand, and the patina it develops as it ages.
Print Designed by Chicago Artist Paula Wilson
The natural colored hides are then embellished with a two-color print, designed by artist Paula J. Wilson, and hand-screened printed by artist Nora Renick-Rinehart. After commissioning the print, we created a line of garments and accessories, inspired to best showcase the materials.
