About
Hello,
I am a avid lover of working with leather, a mindful designer, keen on up-cycling and focused on finding sustainable production solutions with a simple end of life for every product designed.
How leather industry's off-cuts can be utilised in order to avoid landfill The project focuses on utilising leather off-cuts that are often produced during manufacturing process, no matter how carefully and mindfully the pattern cutter makes the cuts. There is always some volume of waste generated. Therefore, the project has taken a deep dive into one of UK's leather goods manufacturing factory and has up-cycled most of the off-cuts collected to produce a capsule collection. These handcrafted products can be easily mended, taken apart and or upgraded at the end of life stage, they have great potential, although complex and time consuming but extremely mindful.
