My home is in Noordhoek, Cape Town, and I work from my studio in the garden, surrounded by breathtaking Cape beauty. 

Over a 20 year career as an International decor and advertising stylist, by necessity following trends and fads that dominate for a season and then fade into nothingness, I developed a deep craving for long lasting items that improve with age. I believe in a simple, honest approach to design, where quality and utility are effortlessly combined; and so I dreamed of designing and making my own collection of products - products that reflect my ethics, feel true to my values and harmonise with my need to walk softly on the planet.

Acorn is the honouring of that longing; a collection of timeless leather products that celebrate functional design and handcrafted techniques. These are everyday classics, designed to grow in individual character as they mellow and soften with age. 

Confidently understated. Consciously created. Deliberately simple.
