About Anke Eichstaedt-Trampler
I began my career in a dressmaker’s studio in Germany, where I developed a strong eye for quality and detail. After earning a degree in Fashion Design, my seamstress training naturally led me to bag making, which quickly became my passion. I design and handcraft each piece myself, working with hand-cut cowhide leather. Each collection is built around a carefully curated color palette and combines techniques such as marquetry, applique, and color blocking: I intricately assemble individual leather pieces to create custom patterns resulting in bold, distinctive designs.
