They scream high fashion but with a punch of rock and roll, reminiscent of brands like Balmain and Saint Laurent. The woman behind the designs is Boonyanuch ittayasamrit who hails from a line of artisans that began making leather shoes in 1952. She is a proud 3rd generation artisan that took her family’s attention to detail and used it for her edgy bag designs. Understand that her bags go through similar processes as an artisan would make a leather shoe. Everything is handmade, handstitched and hand glued to make sure that there is no thread out of place. Plus their fine quality leather are sourced from Thailand as well as Italy. Their signature bag is no doubt the Curios, a square tote with immaculate stitching and a zip on the front to unveil a patch of snake leather. The variety of colours make it easy to match with any outfit thanks to colours like black, grey, khaki and even army green.
