About
TribaMythica
Officially formed in 2013, TribaMythica is the collective work of a husband and wife team.
We bring you an ever evolving range of imaginative and skilfully hand made leather creations, inspired by nature, myth, magic and fantasy.
We are best known for our unique leather bags, each featuring hand painted images in our recognisable style.
However, we also love to create costume pieces, from full sets of armour, to headdresses and jewellery.
Our mission is to create beautiful, wearable art that makes people feel amazing.
We are Esther Remmington Winckles and Martin Winckles, a husband and wife team who have merged our skills and imaginations to create a unique style and brand.
What began as a hobby creating costume pieces for ourselves has evolved into a full-time business, with over 10 years of refining our skills and developing our style.

Esther
Artist - Designer - Leatherworker
Esther has a background in graphic design, but went on to develop a career as a fantasy and pagan artist, selling her work worldwide. Her art is currently licensed and published with Moondragon Cards, with the recent addition of a beautiful giftware range.
She began experimenting in leatherwork with Martin, and together created TribaMythica. Her speciality is tooling and painting her designs onto our bags, but also really loves creating headdresses and jewellery.
​
Her passion for nature, myth, magic and spirituality shows in her work, be it leather creations or art.
​
Although she is a firey, passionate Aries, she can also be shy and is addicted to chocolate.

Martin
is a self-taught leatherworker with a particular passion for creating armour and costume pieces. He has a natural talent for turning an idea into reality by designing all of our patterns from scratch, including bags, armour, hats etc. He has also developed his own style of tribal knotwork which features on a lot of our costume pieces.
​
In 2018 we moved from Essex to Somerset, where we finally got a little studio, nestled at the bottom of our garden on the edge of the magical town of Glastonbury in Somerset, UK.
​
TribaMythica continues to grow and we look forward to seeing where this journey takes us.
