About Studio Lowen

The word "Lowen" is Cornish for happy and joyful.

Studio Lowen is a UK based small leather goods brand, located in West Cornwall. It all began in a little garden studio near St Ives Bay in 2018, founded by Lisa Claire Stewart. The garden studio, made from plywood and reclaimed windows, is Lisa's happy place, her Studio Lowen. A sunny spot to make and create and to be inspired by nature.

Inspired by simple forms, functionality and the need to create products that solve everyday problems, our products should bring you joy through both their functionality and aesthetic. Whether you need the perfect pouch to carry your business cards, a glasses case that's soft and will fit in your pocket when you're on a walk or perhaps a pair of statement earrings that are lightweight and won't make your ears sore. Each piece is designed and made in our studio, by us, using carefully sourced materials and a mindset of minimising waste, slow fashion, a love of tea, animals and a nice time!

In 2022 we moved to a new studio at Krowji (still in Cornwall) where we currently design and make all of our products. A larger space that has provided room for the business to grow, to take on new projects and develop our products. We offer personalisation on our leather accessories and can manufacture in small quantities for specific projects and brands. If you have an idea, just get in touch.

Lisa lives a couple of miles from the Cornish coastline with her husband Sam, sock mad spaniel Soot and chatty Ginger cat. When she’s not working on Studio Lowen you can find her in the garden, out on the dunes with Soot, in a garden centre pondering a new plant or in the ocean.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our work, we hope you find something you like and that will bring you or a loved one joy!
