Nicola, Director of Neo Intricate Design says "we are passionate about designing accessories that are inspired by raw materials, explorative techniques, and technology innovations.

We enjoy creating designs that are each truly unique, made from sustainably sourced natural materials, all leather sourced to create our products are a by-product of the food industry.

Our products are designed and handmade in England, and raw materials are sourced from local suppliers in England."
