The Lilla Tote, but your way…

I’m Melissa, I design and make every piece myself.

Each piece is made by hand to order, just for you, using full-grain leather sourced from the best UK tanneries, using sustainable tanning practices.

The tanneries I work with only use hides that are a natural by-product of the meat industry, chosen carefully and tanned using responsible, low-impact processes. It’s an approach that values both quality and longevity, while making thoughtful use of existing materials.

Full-grain leather is selected for its strength and character—developing a rich patina over time, unique to its owner.

No shortcuts. No mass production. Just considered design and honest craftsmanship, made to be used and appreciated for years to come.
