Walk the streets of London and you’ll come face to face with the echoes of the long lasting love affair between its people and the humble leather jacket. A fashion staple in any wardrobe; surpassing fleeting trends and withstanding the test of time. From days past of dirty rockers, to the fashion elite of the here and now, no one quite rocks the leather jacket like we do, and none more so than Laurie Lee Leather.
Their hand painted, vintage leather jackets are the perfect blend of old and new, mixing fashion and art to revive these fantastic pieces of history. Quirky quotes, lightning bolts and arrows adorn these beautiful jackets, bringing a modern, personalised flair to the mysterious dark material. Each jacket has a story of it’s own, from bands seen to lovers held and photographs taken. Reviving such a classic and attempting to do each story justice is a tall order, but it is an art form that Laurie Lee have mastered.
The precision in which these jackets are designed and painted is a labour of love. With an understated online store Laurie Lee Leather values quality over quantity, so much so that they only source and restore the best jackets they can find, honouring the art and the iconic styles synonymous with biker jackets.
Having created pieces for the likes of Ruby Rose and Ainsley Hutchence their custom jackets are an incredible addition to the brand, giving people the chance to start their own story. Made in Britain but shipped worldwide, Laurie Lee Leather is the perfect example of a British brand paving the way in both fashion and culture, whilst paying respects to its history.
