Fontem was born from my desire to create exquisite, tailor-made bags, each one unique and precious to its owner. More and more today, a sense of longing exists for the ‘Old World’ and the timeless craftsmanship it represents. It was an era in which life moved a bit more slowly, materials were of the highest quality, and artisans held themselves up to uncompromising standards to create items of true art and classic beauty.
Drawing inspiration from those former masters, I slow down the clock here, pouring undivided attention and a passion for perfection into each Fontem purse… bringing together old and new… uniting fine leather craftsmanship with the written word… and fusing the world of fashion and design with the celebration of each individual’s uniqueness…
