Guten tag. I have been living and working in Brighton, UK for about 13 years now. I came from Germany to learn shoe making and now make leather accessories. I love things to be simple, strong and classic. Old objects from yesteryear have inspired me to make to last.

Q:Wolfram, I am looking for a bag that I can carry with phone, glasses (getting old), keys etc. I like the style of messenger bags, but I do not really need one that big. One I found that I like the style of is: http://www.caineleather.co.uk/Leather-Messenger-Bag-in-Tan-Kilbrandon.html but this is too big (and they will not make a small one). I also like your 'Post Mistress', but I think the colours are not so suitable for a guy. Any thoughts?

Asked by Jon Segar about Post Mistress on 23 April 2013

A:Hi There, we have a new bag called our hunting bag which is half the size of the post bag and has three separate pocket integrated into it.

I arrived in England thirteen years ago, to learn shoe making. I was an apprentice with Ghita Schuy (shoemaker) for one year in Brighton. I then went on to work with Paul Harnden making shoes for three seasons. At this point I embarked on my own workshop making shoes and bags for three years. I then opened up a workshop shop in Brighton for seven years. At this time meeting my partner Sarah Gardner helped to extend our range of men's and ladies leather accessories. Since our shop shut we have concentrated our efforts on designing new products and developing our workshop.
