I've been doing a lot of cases and more masculine pieces lately (see older posts below, and wanted to do something a bit more feminine and elegant, in a nice soft vegetable tanned kipskin. This very ergonomic purse is all hand sewn, and features welted construction, button closure, and an adjustable leather shoulder strap. To quote my friend Angie: "It's very vaginal. I like it."
The designer and creator of MOS Atelier handbags & leathergoods, Marc Owen Schreiner, hails from a long heritage of blacksmiths and woodworkers. Growing up in the upper Mississippi River Valley, Marc (the son of a multi-disciplined artisan father), quickly developed an appreciation for the uniqueness of an elegant, hand-wrought object. His father’s workshop was stocked with beautiful antique tools of many trades; the surname “Schreiner” is a medieval German trade name indicating the mastery of the cabinetmaker.
Damn Maestro,
ReplyDeleteThese pieces are EXCEPTIONAL. . . .
Are you going to license designs at some point?
Heading over to your store now.
Cheers!!
