The RÓISÍN GARTLAND brand has developed over a span of 24 years to become synonymous with innovation, design, quality and craftsmanship. The studio is now developing a new strand: teaching small groups of people to make special personalised items from leather

The initial workshops in The Design Tower are a testing ground and as such are very flexible and will develop and change over the coming months. we will work with the finest luxurious leathers that have proven the test of time and as the practice encompasses several areas of expertise, there is a wide selection of skins from which to choose.
