I design and manufacture luxury goods made of upcycled exotic skins and leathers, along with hand painted and upcycled and accessories with a nod to nightlife and the humor of disco era. The accessories are novelty, and some items are geared towards the consumption of marijuana (where legal, novelty otherwise) such a containers, lighters, etc. All products are handmade in NYC of imported and domestic materials. All skins are upcycled from swatches from luxury Italian brands, and no newly purchased skins are used. This creates often one of a kind pieces that are extremely limited edition. In addition, I offer bespoke customization of customer owned bags and other accessories.
