Steven Harkin
Steven Harkin started making bags as a hobby in his native Sydney, some 35 years ago. One-off quirky pieces sold to private and public collectors. A stunning red aluminium attaché case won him a grant to research the leather industry in Europe. As a consequence, he moved to Italy in 2000, then to Britain in 2003 to teach at London College of Fashion (resigned in 2008). Curves and negative spaces inspire him, often seen in a building, a car or a painting. Architectural shapes, contemporary designs with a retro look, bright colours, aluminium details, clean lines and high quality leather define his creations.
