From hippie to high fashion

  • • Mircea is self-taught and started working in 1987
  • • He designs and crafts under the name Stitch’D Leather Goods
  • • He uses a manual 1895 Singer sewing machine

A typical day in Mircea Bule's workshop starts with some coffee and jazz, before the leather master begins to sketch and stitch his new ideas. Mircea established this routine over 35 years of working with leather, having created his first rock and hippie-inspired accessories in the 1980s. After Mircea closed his first business, 74Street Bags, and with his bags worn by international celebrities and featured in fashion magazines, he decided to reinvent his style. Under his new label, Mircea wishes to reach new regions and people, as he says, "I know I still have a lot to give." Working on a century-old Singer machine, Mircea handcrafts stylish, colourful and soulful leather bags and accessories that boast durability and carry a lifelong promise.
