Let me introduce myself, I am Enrique Puente, a bag and accessories designer based in Paris. I have a master's degree in Accessories Design from the Institut Français de la Mode, where I specialised in leather goods.
I started my career working as an in-house designer for various brands, before be
coming a freelance bag and accessories designer.
The artisanal techniques and craftsmanship of leather goods have always fascinated me, I was inspired after visiting the Hermès 'Leather Forever' exhibition and seeing the luxury, dedication and craftsmanship that went into creating each piece.
Leather is my material of choice. I create contemporary luxury designs using traditional sellier leatherworking techniques combined with my creative vision.
