ABOUT LAMA

LAMA is leather goods brand currently based in Berlin, founded by chilean designer-maker Daniela Roa in France since 2017, and currently based in Berlin.

Daniela’s engineering background shows through her designs, all conceived from one or a just few pieces of high quality leather and assembled without any stitches or glue.

LAMA’s first steps were in a small village in Normandy, where the designer lived in a two-stories-tree-house that inspired her first collection. Thinking of how much some trees can live, she seeks to create long-lasting products that will be passed over and transcend generations.

“Do you know when you see an object and you know exactly who it belongs to?”

We aim for good quality and long lasting products, so we need high quality primary materials, with the least amount of possible impact on the environment.

Most of our products are made out of vegetable-tanned leather from northern Italy or Belgium. This leather, opposed to chrome-based tanning processes, is harder to find and more expensive, but definitely better for the environment.

Also, used for centuries for its high resistance, malleability, anti-corrosion properties and appealing appearance, brass is our favourite metal to work with to complete our objects and contribute to its durability. Besides, it can be recycled!

The makers movement is a social phenomenon that integrates traditional techniques, self-learning & innovation. Daniela is not only the designer, but also the maker of her collections, which means she is the one to imagine, design, produce, photograph, etc, all of the objects she offers.
