The First Market

What started as a personal hobby slowly shifted once people began noticing my aesthetic and the way I put pieces together. My designs were unusual and stood out more than I realised, with my leatherwork frequently became a point of interest for people. Every comment and bit of encouragement made a difference, and it stopped feeling like something I could only do for myself, pushing my work from a quiet pastime into a business venture.

I began collaborating with other creators, sharing stories and advice relating to our craft. This prompted us to organise markets for fetish enthusiasts and makers from all across Ireland and it gave me the motivation to do try doing this fulltime.
