Leather Lust Object No.12 - Isaac Sellam


Leather craftsman Isaac Sellam works out of a Paris-based studio - what he calls his "leather research laboratory" - having spent 15 years honing his abilities before debuting his creations under the Isaac Sellam Experience label in 2002. He focuses primarily on handmade, exquisitely pricey jackets and coats, as well as particularly relaxed knitwear that looks as if it may disintegrate one day. This 'animal 2' crocodile skin biker-style jacket, somewhat redolent of Loewe in the 1980s for some reason, is available at Farfetch.com; Londoners such as I can see his work at Brompton Road's emporium of directional menswear, The Library

They also stock Isaac at Layers - some seriously nice pieces.

And worth every penny.

This jacket is beautiful. I like this idea of a leather jacket rather than the typical stiff black leather. Sellam's work is flawless.

Brioni has their own version costing a cool £50,000. It's much less rough hewn than Sellam's, which does remove some of the charm and harp on the ostentatiousness, I feel

Best to all,

BON
