MW Makes

MW Makes is a leather goods brand set up in 2017 by Michelle Wong, a full-time architect at VPPR Architects. Developed through a passion for design and craftsmanship, Michelle creates handcrafted leather goods for the everyday. Influenced by a background in architecture, each item is carefully designed with an emphasis on simple geometries, clean lines and functionality.

All items are handmade from start to finish by Michelle, from her home studio in London. Traditional saddlery tools and techniques are used, such as saddle stitching and hand burnishing. The result is a collection of simple, yet functional items made to last.
