Leather Inks

Not brave enough to get a tattoo but fashion-forward enough to know that some ink can add a je ne sais quoi addition to your outfit? French fashion house Jitrois has collaborated with Caroline Gaspard, the name behind jewellery house Akillis, to bring fashionistas a capsule collection that draws inspiration from tattoo art.

Jean-Claude Jitrois, known for his leather designs for his eponymous house Jitrois, has brought Akillis's latest jewellery collection, Tattoo, to his fashion world, creating pieces for ladies and gentlemen that work in intricate workings that draw inspiration from tribal wave tattoos. Biker jackets, t-shirts and figure-hugging leather dresses all feature tribal tattoo detailing, almost creating an imprint on the skin, using the house's savour-faire in handcrafting butter soft leather designs that fit and move with the body.
