ABOUT Willow & Hive

Willow and Hive creates modern accessories for the everyday, crafted with quality leathers from renowned tanneries, and surplus leathers. Our aim is to create refined, personalised pieces that feel timeless and considered — designed for those who value leather, craft, sustainability and meaningful design.

The Story Behind Willow and Hive

Hi there! It's Anda, founder of Willow and Hive. Back in 2018, I found myself craving for thoughtful design, sustainability, and a deep connection to nature and craft.

Working as a head designer in a fast paced leading high-street fashion house, made me question the excess and waste within the fashion industry. I began exploring new ways of working—using surplus leather and embracing a slower, more considered approach to making.

Based in the countryside on a working farm, Willow & Hive grew during a period of reconnection with the land.

This environment continues to shape the brand’s ethos, with sustainability at its core and a commitment to responsible, small-batch production.

Every piece is designed around three essential principles: natural, botanical, and craft. The philosophy of Wabi-Sabi—finding beauty in imperfection— runs throughout my work,celebrating individuality and the quiet character of handmade objects.

Willow & Hive started humbly, investing in old industrial machinery and has always been independently grown — at a pace that allows myself to stay intentional with every design were lease. We don’t chase trends that don’t resonate; instead, we focus on refining pieces that grow with you through the seasons.

Each product is carefully designed, and handmade. As a small studio, Willow & Hive offers a bespoke approach, allowing personal details—names, initials, or meaningful words—to be embossed, creating pieces that are both personal and enduring.

Designed to be lived with, treasured, and gifted. Always x

Willow & Hive is for those who find meaning in the small details -who see stories in the objects they carry. We create for those who appreciate the beauty of use, the character that comes with time, and the quiet feeling of something made with care.

Thank you for being here!
