REAL LEATHER INTERNATIONAL
STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION
SEMI-FINALIST 2022
Handbag design named
"outstanding, original, and
innovative" by judges.
A focus on combining elements from basic leather garments frequently seen on the street and in consignment shops: cardholders and leather jackets, with notched lapel collars.
Where it all began...
My passion and fascination for handbag design and construction runs deep. In 2019, I designed my first handbag using a cardboard granola box and duct tape. This snowballed into me experimenting with cardboard and faux leather, and eventually purchasing a sewing machine to explore garment construction holistically.
