With the crafts of leatherworking and sewing passed down through five generations of the designer's family, it's no surprise that each item is made using traditional hand tools, some of which have also been passed down from generation to generation. Sustainability is central to the creative process, the choice of materials, the design aesthetic and even the packaging. These pieces of art are created to last, so you can pass them on to future generations.
"I use my grandfathers Awl and my mothers pin cushion daily and this connection with my past, combined with a true passion for my raw materials, results in a product that has genuine quality, longevity, authenticity and sincerity"

Everything is made entirely by hand by designer Úna Burke in her Irish atelier, from full-grain British and Italian vegetable-tanned cowhide and gold-plated solid brass. Vegetable tanning is a method of leather production that is more respectful of the earth, and it is for this reason, among others, that the brand has been awarded the Positive Luxury Butterfly Trust Mark "When a brand passes our evaluation process, it receives the Butterfly Mark, which visibly authenticates luxury brands that contribute to a better world."
