The finished bag.
Ally has been collaborating with J & R Design's - a family run leather goods manufacturer in Hackney, London for many years.
Whilst working at the factory, I helped to produce first production samples and knife templates for two bag collections from sketches and patterns provided by Ally's head designer - Sophie Lawrence.
Leathers used - Oak bark-tanned leather, Tempesti, English bridle. and suede.
