ALYS WALL
I am a craftsperson, a hoarder, an observer, a beachcomber. This manifests in a desire to restore status to the neglected, rejected or overlooked. I use reclaimed fabric and predominantly reclaimed leather for my handmade bags, wallets and purses; pre-loved belts become bag straps, distinctive buttons are rescued from forgotten tins. This amalgamation of rediscovered elements offers an intriguing puzzle for myself as the maker and instils my work with an essence of revival. As each item is thoughtfully assembled and sewn together it becomes a joyful reincarnation of the disregarded or half-forgotten. The result is a finished piece that is completely unique, like you.
