Rosie Stallard Designer Feature:




About Rosie Stallard:

I graduated from London College of Fashion in 2007 with a degree in footwear. Having always had an interest in leather craft I then turned my attentions to accessories.
Everything is handmade in my studio in East London.
Inspired by love worn leather vintage bags and structured styles which are now rarely produced. I wanted to create accessories that are both durable and will age well. I also wanted them to have a low impact on the environment so I use vegetable tanned Italian Leather and line each bag with a vintage scarf. This also means each one is different.

Inspirations:

My Main inspiration comes from traditional structured bags like postman’s satchels and binocular cases from the 1940s. I think it is important to keep traditional crafts alive and enjoy the work of small designers creating unique pieces.

Best Seller:




My best seller is the ‘Barrel Bag’, inspired by the shape of a binocular case it is a medium sized over the shoulder bag lined with a vintage scarf.





We Make Summer Fair:

At the summer fair I will be showing my full range of handbags and belts.
