What is it about Natalie Thakur's handmade leather bags that has got the whole world in a spin?
We have sold a collection of her work since we opened our virtual doors in 2006 but, after years of hard work and dedication in her small studio in East London, it's only recently that she's beginning to get the recognition she deserves. Natalie's work is now selling in Japan, Paris, San Francisco, and has recently been snapped up by the cult department store Takishimaya on New York's Fifth Avenue!
We are so pleased for Natalie. She is part of that breed of designers who dedicate their lives to perfecting their designs and painstakingly research the correct materials right down to the exact width of a zip or the colour of a press stud. It's no surprise then that the UK's only leather museum in Walsall has purchased a collection of her work for their permanent display.
All of this and you can still purchase a piece of Natalie's work for as little as £23.
