Vesna launched the Bardo label in 2000 to create hand crafted, leather handbags with character. Bardo started producing one-off pieces for her clients and has now moved to selling and exhibiting at the most prestigious venues like London Fashion Week for an international market.
Turning traditional processes on their heads she ‘forms’ bags in a fluid, tactile process. She ‘experiences’ the material playing with form and functionality at the hands-on stage rather than on a drawing board.
The signature technique that Bardo employs is a textural pattern that is defined by the shape of the piece.
Vesna studied fashion design at the London College of Fashion and Middlesex University. She then worked for a variety of avant garde companies in London such as Preen and Fake and freelances as a designer for London businesses that specialise in leather.
