Back in Germany, Alex noticed a small store dedicated to making leather bags. In a bold move, Alex went in and asked the owner if she could apprentice there. Here, Alex’s love of sewing returned and she made the first of her leather bags.

The main source of Alex’s inspiration has been the city of Berlin, and the people that are there using various bags. The ways in which people use their purses and bags is very important in the design process, they must be easy to use and fashionable.
