I began crafting with leather at the workbench in my childhood home, nestled in the woods with my family.
After pushing my craft and building a small business in Maine, I spun off into a career with Camille Fournet Paris, in partnership with Cartier.
Held was born as a means to pursue my creativity and explore new opportunities.
