Laura is dedicated to creating beautifully engineered, functional leather goods. She cannot stop creating shapes. Clean, simple shapes, with the element of surprise and playfulness when you use them. She delights in the unique qualities of leather, that it can be stretched, pulled and manipulated. You will find Laura intently sketching her shapes in cardboard, sampling with scraps of leather and ultimately fitting all the pieces of the puzzle together.
