Meet Georgie Tym
My passion for bag design and creation has led me on a journey from making bags for brands including Nike, Jaguar, M&S and Cherchbi, to fulfilling my dream of starting my own bespoke bag business, Hands of Tym.
A leather bag designer, maker and enthusiast at heart, I’ve been creating, crafting and teaching leatherwork for over 10 years.
Whilst I work mostly with leather, I also enjoy using fabrics and leather alternatives, including beautiful vegan options.
The craft is more than work to me. It’s a passion I live and breathe.
My passion for making things started when I was still in school. Knowing I wanted to one day run my own bespoke making business, I continued to develop my technique at the London College of Fashion, where I studied Bags and Accessories Design and Technology.
