Jacqui Curtis Leather Goods by Jacqui Sanguinetti:

Jacqui Sanguinetti has been making leather products since the 1980s, including handbags for a SOHO boutique. Her work is neither neat nor structured, but rather harmonious with“whatever I think of at the moment,”she says. Jacqui likes to use the rugged and raw, choppy edges of leather, because it gives a more natural finish. Hand-stitching everything herself, Jacqui Sanguinetti has most recently delved into designing shoe accessories, yoga mat carriers, toiletries bags, hat boxes, wine and rum sacks. She even makes the buckles on the belts! “Doing handwork is hard labour,” Jacqui says casually. “It’s tough, but very fulfilling.”
