About Nelusha!
I am an indie handbag designer. While I am formally trained in couture construction, my adventures in design are all about playing outside the rules. Every day I discover that with every new skill we have the courage to explore and develop, we grow to heights we couldn’t imagine we are capable of. Leather working is a perfect example of such a gift – one which I am so happy to share!
