OUR STORY

Hi!  I'm Arleen, Chief Creative Director and founder of AJH Leather Designs.  I love to create things with leather.  Leather is natural.  By working with leather, I feel that I give homage to the animals that provide us with warmth, comfort, and nourishment.  Waste not.  Want not.  Feel free to shop my store.  If there is anything that I can do or create for you that is not in my store, please send me a note and we can discuss it. All custom handbag designs start at $500.00.

 

Design House of AJH Leather Designs

​

We design for stylish people.

 

AJH Leather Designs is a design house. Arleen J. Harkness is the Chief Creative Director and CEO. At Studio AJH, Arleen designs beautiful bespoke (custom) iconic pieces by commission or made-to-order. She designs all types of handbags, backpacks, duffle bags, luggage, portfolios, belts, hats, caps, and other products in leather, vegan leather, bio-leather, cork, and canvas. Our goal is to make sustainable products and use materials that would either go to waste or can be recycled and made into items for long life. Our mission is to design the best items we can out of the best materials we can find, and serve each person to the best of our abilities. As of September 2024, Arleen is now a published designer having Getty Images of her belt designs on the NYFW runways, under The House of Nwa'n. Follow her on Instragram @womanvs.leather, and Facebook @ajhleather. Shop our online stores: AJH Leather Designs on Amazon Handmade, and WomanvsLeatherUS on Etsy.
