I am Els, a designer driven by craftsmanship, curiosity and creativity. My journey began when I discovered the art of shoemaking — a process so unique, precise and powerful that it completely captured my imagination. Although I studied fashion, traditional clothing never inspired me the way leatherwork did. Through learning, persistence and passion, I developed my own artistic identity and today I create bespoke, out-of-the-ordinary footwear and fine leather bags.

Traveling, meeting creative people and experiencing different cultures shaped the way I design. I believe luxury is not only about perfection, but also about personality, emotion and originality.

I’ve always been drawn to stories and the worlds they create. Through LARP and cosplay, I bring those stories to life — not only in how they look, but in how they feel. These creations are about freedom and transformation: stepping into another self, or awakening a part of yourself that was waiting to be seen. When someone puts on a costume their posture shifts, their movement changes, and a smile appears — that moment is magic to me.

From this space of imagination, Nayira of the Dunes was born — a character shaped by movement, quiet strength, and the ever-changing nature of the World.
