Lucy is a designer and artisan of contemporary handbags, based in London, England.
After formally training in traditional handmade making at Cordwainer’s College, Lucy established her own brand in 2022.
The mission is to make gorgeous products, locally, and consciously.
Each bag is produced hand within her London studio, using Italian vegetable-tanned leather, and organic cottons.
They are then treated with natural oils and finishes, to enhance their natural markings, and increase longevity.
OUR LEATHERS
Vegetable-taned leather is processed using a combination of naturally occurring tannins such as tree bark, wood, leaves and fruit pods. This ancient process creates a distinctively beautiful material that's rich in tone and natural markings which cannot be emulated by chemically tanned or plastic-faux leather. Through the process of vegetable tanning, leather can mature beautifully over the passage of time. Thus giving each product a unique and personal quality.
