WELCOME TO MY SHOP

 

I’m Lauren, the artist + leather craftsman behind every piece. I craft all of my goods by hand, in small batches from my studio in Asheville, North Carolina.

​

My studio, The Inverse, is a reaction to our culture of fast fashion and over-consumption. The pieces we wear should be sustainable, beautiful and affordable. That's why I specialize in creating leather goods from repurposed material. I carefully select each piece of leather, whether from gently used upholstery, thrifted jackets or scrap remnants, to create your one-of-a-kind wallet or bag.

​

I’ve been sharing my progress + inspiration on Instagram since the beginning of my sewing journey in 2017.
