If you haven’t noticed, leather is a favorite material here at The Brvtalist. Nothing is better at straddling the line between hard-wearing utility and fine luxury. I always like to feature handcrafted brands with a great aesthetic and Zana Bayne hits all the right notes. Based in NYC, Bayne has a BFA in Conceptual Art from San Francisco Art Institute and also spent some time in Berlin before relocating to New York. All of these play a big role in her designs and her sharp, minimal harnesses and leather accessories have a distinct quality with a dark, devious edge. These are perfect as full ensembles or as individual pieces that can work from the art gallery to the dungeon. She’s even branched out with some great bags and even some men’s accessories. Definitely one to know about.
