Our Story

As a practicing Architect Zöe Lawrence always found the time to be creative outside of the work environment and after a number of years in the industry felt it was time for a change; stepping back from Architecture she decided to focus on her love of leatherwork and BZRD - EAST was established in 2023.

Zöe is interested in exploring the idea of geometric shapes, drawing inspiration from origami and folding techniques to develop unique and useable leather items.

At BZRD-EAST we create pure leather goods, designed and handcrafted by Zöe in her studio in East London, England.

Using only the finest quality materials we endeavour to source locally wherever possible and use all elements of the leather hide to ensure there is minimal waste.

We use vegetable dyed leather; a natural process that has been used for thousands of years and achieves a beautiful finish whilst being kinder to the environment.

We believe in individuality, creating high quality unique items that will stand the test of time. Leather is a natural material and comes with naturally unique markings that emphasise its authenticity and will vary all depending on from where the leather is cut. All of our products will develop a unique patina as they age and wear, imparting an individual personality to the product.

We hope you love your new product!
