Biography:
Using the finest Italian leathers, semi-precious findings and detailed accents, hand braiding, and French binding construction, Randall Herold boldly integrates contemporary and primordial impulse. Each purse, consisting of as many as 150 hand-cut pieces that require multiple forming and stitching processes, is individually produced by the artist himself. Every cut, every stitch is faithful to balance, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical, and Old World craftsmanship. His commitment to the highest quality materials and his tools, and his understanding of the needs his products serve, epitomizes the essential craftsman and artist that is Randall Herold.
