The luxury accessories label ‘Carmen Woods’ reflects on Carmen’s time spent in Ravenna, Italy, working as a fashion designer. She drew inspiration from the intricate Byzantine mosaics, which covered the city’s buildings and walkways, eventually using patch work and pleating techniques to express this through her designs. Sumptuous crafted patchwork and pleating techniques are used to harness a beautifully sculptural and timeless quality whilst standing out as something individual and desirable.
With a keen emphasis on quality and attention to detail, every piece is made using the finest Italian leather and only the very best materials such as Swiss zips and strong nickel fittings. Each piece combines essential elements of covetability with durability for a bag that is a true investment piece – a piece that will look more and more fabulous over time.
In addition to the Carmen Woods core collection, a bespoke service is offered for clients wanting to adapt existing styles to specifically suit their needs. For an additional fee clients can discuss their specific needs such as colour, weight and fittings with Carmen and she will happily work to the brief for a unique – made to measure – piece.
If you fancy a trip to the seaside Carmen’s beautiful boutique is situated amongst the quirky and charming shops on the Essex coastline – Leigh-on-Sea. The Art Deco exterior houses a treasure box of leather goods born from Carmen’s creativity and flair for design.
