Material selection plays a central role in my work. I carefully source my leathers from regional tanneries, paying particular attention to quality, texture and the tanning process.

All leathers I use are vegetable-tanned, using a variety of plant-based tanning agents, including extracts from olive leaves and rhubarb roots. I favor leathers that retain their natural grain and subtle variations rather than hiding them beneath heavy coatings.

Each leather has its own distinctive feel and develops character over time, complementing the clean lines and understated design of my bags.
