Fifteen years ago, I was drawn to the look of a primitive method of hand-stitching leather, which involves hand-punching the stitching holes. I have been refining the labor-intensive technique since. I love the contrast of this rough process with very precisely placed stitches. I believe the time put into creating each item gives an energy and presence that is unmatched.

DE HAAN pieces are created in small batches or by custom order.

 

I hope you enjoy my work.
