BA (Hons) Cordwainers Footwear: Product Design & Development
The personal aspect of choosing a tattoo is an exciting process. I have incorporated the concept of using tattooing as a means of leather surface decoration into my range; allowing the customer, in liaison with the designer, to develop a customized pattern to be applied to the upper using laser engraving techniques. Taking inspiration from the linear quality of Mehndi design, along with the exotic, distinctive fluid shapes of the Royal Pavillion in Brighton, I have developed this idea to be applicable to footwear, with the hand dyed leather in conjunction with subtle stitch decoration combining to give a visual feast to enhance the customer experience.
