ACCESSORY & HARDWEAR ICONS IN OUR COMMUNITY
We love getting inspired by queer style experts right within our own community here in London. We decided to highlight a few creatives who are the makers of some really iconic accessories and hardwear brands to learn more about their work.

Meet Mr.Lez
Mr Lez is a bag designer born and raised in North London. He created the first classic lezbag in 2016 for his friend Megan. He now has a permanent collection of bags and averages three collaborative collections annually. He is an object fetishist and is mad about fabrics and the way colours transform each other in proximity. His favourite thing is to see butches shine. What he loves most about lez is getting to invent new things out of other things in his studio with incredible queer and trans makers and designers.
"The first time I made my queer beaded chokers I remember it was because I wanted them to signal to other queer people like 'hey, look I'm gay!'.
