Handcrafted Luxury with a Dark Twist

I started Emma Easter Handcrafted because I was tired of handbags that didn’t reflect me. Too many were either too plain, too delicate, or just didn’t hold up against real life (and the very real British weather). My style is a contradiction, I love luxury and florals, but I also have a fascination with the darker side of life. With a background in forensic anthropology, I’ve always been drawn to the macabre, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a bit of elegance. So, I decided to create handbags that blend both worlds, bags that are practical, stylish, and unapologetically unique.

Growing up, I remember lining my school bag with a plastic bag because the rain would always soak through. As I got older, my handbag collection grew, but so did my frustration, boring linings, weak materials, and zero personality. I wanted something different. I wanted bags that were as bold, rebellious, and luxurious as the people carrying them. And most importantly, I wanted bags that could stand up to the rain without soaking everything inside.

So, I made them myself.

Each bag is crafted using high-quality leather and vegan-friendly alternatives, selected not just for aesthetics but for durability. I’m a proud member of Leather UK, committed to using responsibly sourced leather, a byproduct of the food industry that would otherwise go to landfill. But I also respect the choice to go cruelty-free, which is why I offer vegan-friendly collections made with materials that don’t compromise on luxury or longevity.

And because I know the struggle of unexpected downpours, every bag is lined with custom-printed water-resistant fabric. That means no more soggy linings, no more ruined essentials, just a handbag that works as hard as you do.

The beauty of contradictions is what inspires my designs. Whether it’s the floral romance of the Penelope lining clashing perfectly with skull motifs, or the rich elegance of Italian leather paired with gothic undertones, every handbag is a statement piece with depth.

I don’t do mass production. I don’t believe in “fast fashion.” Instead, I create small-batch, limited-edition handbags, each with its own unique manufacture code, a personal stamp that tells you exactly where and when it was made. When you own an Emma Easter bag, you own something that’s truly one of a kind.

You won’t find these handbags in high-street stores. They’re for people who embrace their individuality, who aren’t afraid to mix elegance with a little edge.
