0.hide - Artisanal leatherwork

0.hide was founded in 2020 by Bo, a self-taught designer from The Netherlands.

There was always a strong attraction to avantgarde work. The materials and craftmanship attracted him to certain types of clothing, he looks at it as a form of art. After a short study at the academy of fine arts in Maastricht (2018), he felt a strong urge to do something with his passion for avant-garde and leather goods. He decided to buy some leather and started designing some simple bags. He noticed that people loved his work and built his way up to where he is now. He mainly focuses on leatherwork, using distinct, exclusive leather types such as horse or bison. All products are made exclusively on order to preserve the handwork and uniqueness of the pieces made. His work is best described as minimal with great attention to detail and natural characteristics in the materials used. When selecting materials, Bo looks for rough hides with many natural signs such as scarring and wounds. He wants to give the customer the feeling that he/she is wearing something straight from the source.
