Drawing upon a 1970’s rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic, the collection features vintage washed leathers, raw edges and metal hardware. The label pays homage to classic biker style and is born from 30 years of fashion industry experience. Pieces are masterfully constructed by hand with individually sourced leather that will only age with character. “We do it for the love of leather. It’s how the leather feels. It’s about the buttery texture, raw edges and distressed effects,” says leather lover and label founder, Danae. Ladies make sure to get behind this new Melbourne label at danaethelabel.com.au
