MAHY leather handbag brand is releasing a unique new collection. Surplus MAHY leather has been reformed into unique limited edition and one-off bags in the Janis and Nina crossbody, and Ingrid Tote styles.

Small strips of leather are used in patchwork type patterns, and textured tactile crafting is used to honour hand making, the slow movement and skill-based design. “Playing with small pieces of leather was a great way to think differently and more creatively.” Along with the business taking a positive step into reducing waste, Emily says the thing she most enjoyed “was exploring my creativity and running free with this collection. It has turned into a positive in many respects, with finding a creative way of reducing waste” The REFORMED collection has a mix of fun, playful colour combinations as well as more subdued tones. The Janis and Nina bags are paired with an adjustable webbed strap of your choice. There are 6 different webbed straps to choose from.

REFORMED Collaboration
The REFORMED collection also includes a collaboration with the wonderful maker and creator Evie
Kemp. Evie brings colour and joyful energy to limited edition Janis and Nina bags.
