This article spotlights three Singaporean artisans who are reviving the craft of handmade leather goods, each bringing their unique style and perspective to the traditional art form. From Americana aesthetics to biker and goth influences, these designers are creating high-quality, durable, and distinctive products that resonate with consumers seeking unique and meaningful pieces.
For over a century, Braun Büffel has been crafting exquisite leather goods that seamlessly blend tradition and innovation. The new Spiralig collection embodies this philosophy, drawing inspiration from the grace of ceramic art to create pieces that are both beautiful and functional.
The collection’s signature design element is a continuous spiral, reflected in the collection’s name. This spiral motif is elegantly incorporated into the collection’s hobo silhouettes, creating a contemporary update on the classic slouchy bag. Soft, luxurious leather is sculpted into subtly padded ‘U’ curves, adding structure and dimension to the design.
Beyond its technical prowess, the Spiralig collection showcases the brand’s artistic flair. The graceful curves and sculptural lines evoke a sense of fluidity, blurring the boundaries between fashion and functional art. This unique collection celebrates artistic expression and fosters a deeper appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship that Braun Büffel brings to its exquisite leather works.
