FLECHR
FLE CH R is pronounced Fletcher...by Kimberly Fletcher. Nice to meet you!
Overproduction in fashion is one of the worlds biggest enviromental threats. Our workshop refuse to make that problem worse and believe in making only what is needed. Unlike many fast fashion brands, we create our inhouse collections in small batches, with the aim of selling out. This practice reduces waste and ensures our pieces are made thoughtfully, with appropriate time and care.

Mastering the art of Leather Goods
"We believe that a great bag should last longer than one season. That it should be passed on from one generation to the next. This is why we strive to make beautiful, high quality leather goods with noble materials and remarkable finishing touches." Kimberly, designer.

The nobility of a raw material
At FLE CH R, we take great pride of selecting every skins carefully. We really enjoy working with different styles, Suede, Smooth & the Pebble leather, for their different aspect and particularity.
