THE MILLINER
Leela Jacobs is a Canadian Leather Work Millner. At Ecole Holt Couture, Leela built a strong foundation in couture fashion, beginning in menswear and pivoting to accessories over time. She currently concentrates her efforts as a leatherwork milliner where she sources, designs and creates a line of genderless leather slouch beanies. Leela’s extensive work as a stylist and project manager allowed her to assess opportunities within the fashion landscape of Calgary and Canada, and is working towards North American distribution of her new collection.
THE BRAND
Under the name of the creator, Leela Jacobs is a brand that strives for elevated functional style, that is comfortable, versatile and for everyday wear, while also being a statement piece. This is achieved by adapting the traditional style beanie and putting her own unconventional twist to the design. The brand’s luxe street style is a signature move for all of Leela’s designs, and as is exhibited with her debut collection of leather beanies. More design details.
The millinery is located at nvrlnd. arts foundation - A derelict hotel that was converted into studios for artists. Having a space at nvrlnd. has allowed Leela to flourish as an artist. The space provides inspiration and feedback which also contributes to a better product.
