Hi, I'm Elena (Ihelen)

Creating artisan leather goods and art objects isn't just a hobby — it's my life's work. I've been doing it full-time for over 20 years.

In my hands genuine leather comes alive: it becomes anatomical fish, scaly dragons, sculptural bags, jewellery with natural stones and fairytale creatures. Every piece is designed, sculpted, moulded and stitched by hand as a one-of-a-kind.
