About me

My hands have wanted to create things for as long as I can remember. Often because I can't find what I'm looking for.

As a teenager, I sewed my own clothes: quirky, intuitive, exactly as I wanted them.

Then followed years in marketing and communication. Lots of planning, lots of talking. Too little creation. The urge remained; that need to make something tangible. Something you can hold, use, take with you.

So I started again.
With leather, tools, and a good dose of patience. I learned how to make something that is not only beautiful but also perfect in form, function, and use.

Atelier18. was born from that. Simply well-made bags, cushions, and leather goods that will accompany you and only get better with time.

Not factory work. But craftsmanship. Handmade.
