About

Leather is at the heart of my work. With nearly 25 years of experience, I make bags and shoes designed for comfort, individuality, and long wear — pieces shaped by time and use, made to be worn / used for years rather than seasons.

I work with a calm, woodland palette of muted, enduring colours, chosen for their ease and longevity. All pieces are made using exceptional leathers from trusted British merchants. Traditional techniques allow the natural character of each hide to shine through, with small variations that make every piece unique.

I release ready-made collections in small batches and limited editions — each one cut from a single hide and crafted into a cohesive run of bags and small leather goods. Whether made to order or released as a batch, every piece is part of the same slow, considered practice.

The Fairysteps shoe collection is a cherished part of my story. Established in 2002, these handmade shoes carry the legacy of craftsmanship and whimsical detail that first made me known as a shoemaker. Today, they continue alongside my bags & leather goods, crafted in our West Country studio using the same care, leathers, and timeless techniques, preserving the heritage while forming a natural part of our wider collection.

Inspired by woodland details, and the warmth of a slower past. If one piece carries you somewhere calm and happy, it has done its work.
