the fashion feed - episode 95 - leather vs vegan leather with michelle @ mw makes

I feel actually feel bit nervous about introducing this episode as it’s a topic Michelle and I have wanted to speak about for a while but I also know it can be a complicated one with lots of opinions!

So first of all let me tell you a little bit about Michelle & her brand! MW Makes is a leather goods brand set up by Michelle Wong in 2017. Developed through a passion for design and craftsmanship, MW Makes creates handcrafted leather goods for the everyday. Influenced by a background in architecture, each item is carefully designed with an emphasis on simple geometries, clean lines and functionality.
