“Celebrating the true beautiful Russia and the mysteries of the Russian soul”
- the words of my mother, Anna
Handmade by Aleksandra
-
Aleksandra designs and makes all her products by hand in her home studio and a leather co-working studio nearby.
Using Quality Leathers
-
Dead stock/rescued leather is overstock or leftovers from nearby manufacturing and sampling runs. Most manufacturers have no use for small quantities of a color, leaving the hides to be stored or thrown away. We’re grateful to have access to these unique skins, left over from local luxury production processes.
-
Choosing leather from LWG (Leather Working Group) Gold, Silver, and bronze certified tanneries helps to ensure that leathers are being produced responsibly, with respect for people and the environment.
-
The future that we’re excited to grow into. We’ll keep you posted ;)
