The tattoos on your body can be inked into leather. Eleni Colleony of Manhasset crafts tattooed leather bags. Any design can be tattooed on any product. She learned how to do it herself.
"As I was roaming in the bookstore, I stumbled upon this book on Japanese tattoo art. It was so elegant, so beautiful. I was going through the book, and it hit me. Why can't I do that on leather,” said Eleni. Now Eleni started Studio Eleni Colleony and works out of her basement studio.
She ships her products all over. "It all started many years ago; I studied industrial design, but I was very much into fashion [and] at the time I was living in Paris," said Eleni. For Eleni, it's about quality and sustainability. "It's not about putting brand on you but knowing what your wearing is made out of the best materials, the craftsmanship is supreme and it will serve you for life so I'm really proud of my product."
