Multiple dying, overdying & surface design methods are used to achieve the desired colors & patterns on each piece of natural fiber used in the creation of these garments.
LEMPP & YIN was founded in 2020 by 2 designers- Elizabeth Lempp and Zitong Yin, we do all self-designed, handcrafted fine leather handbags, each bag is one-of-a-kind and made with love.
I use leather, canvas, and metal to create clean lines in functional goods that look great and feel even better. My work is laid out and cut by hand, sewn by me, and finished with patience and pride.
Strips of fabric wrapped around poly cord. Using a sewing machine, I zigzag the wrapped cording together creating different shapes and sizes. The final touch is to attach a stone with a natural hole.
I use multiple fiber techniques of sewing, felting, weaving, and crochet to create reimagined garments and functional objects from Asian and vintage textiles, buttons, and US small farm wool.
I mount tiny hand-embroidered thread paintings of landscapes/flowers/abstracts in stainless steel findings to make sleek, textured jewelry. My larger works are framed in wood hoops and backed with felt.
