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.
