TIMELESS DESIGN

The newspaper ‘Het Laatste Nieuws’ (a Dutch newspaper) published an article about my work. The XTRA edition of the newspaper talks about my creative bags and timeless design. 




As an architect, my leatherwork is simple, sleek and pure. I create by folding and forming leather. Crossing out the unnecessary, keeping the essential.
The pieces are pure craft, fully stitched by hand using the saddle stitch. It’s a conscious choice to produce the pieces this way. It’s a challenge to make contemporary leather goods in a very traditional way. It’s a way of shaping my ideas. Free of machines. Back to basics.

All pieces are 100% made with passion, 100% hand stitched and 100% Belgian!

The BOX bag on the picture is a new one and in a new colour of leather. BOX bag is a series of messenger or business bags with a timeless design and sturdy stitches, designed for the practical and style conscious (business) user.

You can discover my collection during 'Dag van de ambachten' or Crafstday 23 March 2014, between 13h30 and 18h00 in my studio, Damse Vaart-Zuid 79, 8310 Sint-Kruis (Brugge), Belgium.
