Growing from 1 single founder to an intimate team
Hi there! I’m Janine Mitchell, your resident Leather Artisan extraordinaire. Let me take you on an incredible journey into the captivating world of leather. It all began in 2020 when I wholeheartedly delved into a leather course driven purely by love and curiosity. Little did I know that this humble pursuit would ignite an insatiable passion within me. As I immersed myself in the artistry, a newfound fascination for printed leather sparked, paving the way for the creation of our treasured gems, including our delightful baby vellies.
But this tale wouldn’t be complete without the introduction of my partner, Henny le Roux. With his invaluable expertise in laser engraving and remarkable business acumen, he seamlessly entered the picture, bringing a perfect blend of skills to complement my creative passion and extensive knowledge of leather craftsmanship. Together, we embarked on an extraordinary journey, weaving our individual talents into a harmonious tapestry of creativity and innovation.
At our spirited workshop, you’ll find us, a close-knit team of passionate artisans, wholeheartedly dedicated to crafting exceptional laser engraved and printed leather products. Fueled by an unwavering drive to introduce fresh perspectives and innovative designs to the market, we boldly push the boundaries of traditional leather craftsmanship.
