ARTISAN SPOTLIGHT 1, Anne – The Leather Specialist

What: Artisan Spotlight 1

Where: Workshop of O&D

Who: Anne – The Leather Specialist

Year: 2024

We are proud to introduce you to Anne, a dedicated artisan with a profound passion for genuine materials.

Graduated with a specialization in shoes and leather goods, followed by a job as designer of  footwear, Anne’s fascination with genuine leather started years back. Since 2015, when Anne as the second craftsman joined O&D, she has refined her craft skills, and she takes immense pride in working with genuine, high-quality materials.

Anne’s Passion for Genuine Materials

Anne meticulously examines each leather hide to minimize waste and maximize quality, making the process a grand puzzle that she loves to solve. Her favorite material is whiskey tooling leather, known for its authentic appearance and natural color variations. To Anne, these variations are a testament to the leather’s natural beauty and life.

“Working with genuine materials, as we do it here, is rare; there aren’t many workplaces like O&D where you work with such high-quality materials so uncompromisingly.” – Anne

A Personal Touch in Every Product

Anne loves being involved in every step of the production process. From the smallest details to the final product, she finds great satisfaction in seeing her work come to life. Her commitment to genuine materials and long-lasting quality is evident in every piece she crafts.

Living in the countryside, close to a lake and the ocean, Anne enjoys spending time in nature with her family. She also has a leather-sewing machine for personal projects, although she modestly says it’s nothing special.
