Year 20 Susan Bradford creates pleated, velvet-trimmed, gathered hats and coats from sheepskins imported from Iceland and Spain, combining contemporary elements with classic design.
Every piece is unique yet functional.
She started making sheepskin slippers and mittens, going on to study advanced design at The University of Vermont, which helped her develop her new collection. Susan has been named the Second Best Leather Artist three years in a row by the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, and has received the Juror's Award of Distinction at the Stratton Arts Festival. Her favorite part of Vermont is its beauty and wide open spaces. This coat is made of Icelandic Shearling. The edges are bound with lambsuede and lambsuede piping.
