Genuine Leather: Espontanea Baires
Genuine leather can be hard to come by these days, especially in the world of fashion. However, one woman is creating amazing fashion accessories with leather and her name is Giselle Perez.
One word to describe Giselle of Espontanea Baires is genuine. Her attitude, her vibe, and her character are exactly that- genuine. She embodies the pure essence of being a genuine person.
She is from Argentina and has always had a passion for making and creating. So she took her love of making and found a way to combine that with one of the best resources Argentina is known for- genuine leather.
It has not been an easy road for Giselle. Argentina has been continually plagued with inflation rates that seem to keep going up these days. As an entrepreneur and artisan she has had to struggle with what seems like a never ending up hill battle ever since she began her work. As inflation rates continue to rise, so does the price of leather. It has been a difficult path to success for Giselle and her business, but she continues to press on using her genuine attitude and love for what she does to push her forward.
Genuine Leather: Accessories
Each day she continues to make her dream come true as she designs leather purses, wallets, jewelry, and accessories. Her brand of genuine leather fashion wares is putting her on the global map in countries like Tokyo and now the United States.
She does everything by hand literally down to the stitching. Her creations are a work of colorful art. Every piece is as unique as the leather that binds it. Using only textiles in the leather world she patches and stitches wallets, purses, cuff bracelets, earrings, and rings together.
Below you can see a collection of her designs.
Genuine Leather: Eco-friendly
You may be asking yourself how genuine leather can be eco-friendly? After all, the production of leather is considered one of the major pollutants of this century. Well much of Giselle's work with leather is in remnants, meaning left over pieces of leather from various shops around Argentina. So this means her pieces are not only unique but upcycled as well.
She is creating less waste by using the left over pieces of leather that would otherwise get tossed in the trash. Upcycling has become quite the trend in the world of fashion and creating less waste in the leather industry is a huge step in the right direction.
