Love and Salvage is trying to plug a gap - creating durable fashion accessories from waste materials and teaching others the skills to do the same!

Working with leather and bag and shoe making is easy. The workshops demystify techniques so that students leave with the knowledge to approach their own more complex projects.

We work with local furniture businesses collecting their waste leathers and fabrics to turn into accessories. So students have a huge range of trendy colours and textures to choose from. All abilities are supported in small classes in the designers own home.

Loved it! So happy with the clutch I got to design and make! I learned so much about working with leather and I'm excited to try to make one by myself in the future. Eli was also so patient and flexible with me rescheduling due to me being sick. Thank you!

This was a brilliant workshop; Eli is a wonderful teacher. She gave me the technical skills to make a fab bag and encouraged me to make all the design choices. I'm now searching through my wardrobes to see if I can upcycled any of my jackets!

I absolutely loved my workshop day with Eli! She is so welcoming, friendly and patient. We managed to make a gorgeous orange bucket bag without any problems whatsoever. I shall definitely be making some more of these bags in the future!

Enjoyed every minute! I can’t believe I managed to learn a new craft and gain a beautiful leather bag in the process! Thank you!
