Leather: Ina Grau
|
I was psyched to come across Ina Grau on dullDiamond, the collaborative effort between Luisa Fernanda Garcia-Gomez and Crystal Quinn. I’m jealous of the lucky folks in Minneapolis who were able to attend their open house this past weekend!
Soon to be available in their online shop, Ina Grau is a collection of handmade leather shoes. Their blog has beautiful photos that take you through their process, and I look forward to exploring the website once it’s complete.
And on the same day, I saw this great article on Rennes, about leather as a material and demystifying it for her readers. The designer behind Rennes, Julia, makes beautiful, beautiful leather bags, wallets, pouches, and more that I covet entirely.
Interested in working with leather? You can take a class at TAC – we have quite a few coming up!
