Úna Burke is a multi-award winning accessories designer and artist who creates wearable leather objects crafted by hand in her Atelier in South London where she lives and works. Originally from County Roscommon in Ireland, she completed a BA in Fashion Design at Limerick School of Art and Design in 2003 before completing an MA in Fashion Artefact at Cordwainers College, London College of Fashion in 2009.

Using traditional leather-working techniques in her distinctly complex constructions, she makes both seasonal fashion accessories collections and sculptural art pieces. She uses vegetable-tanned bovine leather, gold coated fittings and solid brass screws; bringing together traditional leatherworking techniques and contemporary aesthetics. Her collections are concept based and there are often human stories behind the designs since influence is taken from psychological, military and medical sources.

Úna’s leather accessories are timeless, elegant, considered and sculptural.
