Who We Are
Founded 2016 by Mira Halloway, our two-bench studio sits above a bakery in Leith, with one cutter and one stitcher. We work Italian vegetable-tanned leather with Chantilly lace inlay, sourcing lace from a Calais mill and antique bobbin lace from markets. Repairs for life on every wallet we make, and every one is welcomed back to the bench.
