Anyone lucky enough to have been invited to pop along to Walpole’s Press Day at Liberty back in July, might well have caught a glimpse of something quite remarkable. Pride of place on the Ettinger stand, sat the beautiful ‘Ettinger Flowers’ – a sculptural leather piece made entirely from Ettinger leather, designed and hand crafted by Crafted mentee Bridget Bailey of Bailey Tomlin, commissioned for the event by Ettinger and Crafted mentor Robert Ettinger.
