This time of year everything appears to be rather grey and dreary, however, this next Meet The Maker profile is sure to bring an exciting burst of colour into your life! Today we are discussing the wonderful Ark Colour Design and their fantastic quirky leather designs we just can't help but smile at as we unpack our latest delivery.
Ark Colour Design was founded in 2015 by Jane Richards and Amy Lindsay. Drawing from their backgrounds in fashion and fine art, they set about creating products which are fun and affordable, but also well made. All of their products are designed in the own shop in Cambridge and are then beautifully made by a small family run manufacturer in Scotland. The leather is processed in their on site tannery and then cut and foil embossed to Ark's designs. Because every piece is hand finished with embossing, each one is unique to the next.
The stand out products for Ark Colour Design are there fantastic range of bookmarks and keyrings. Featuring a vast range of different characters, creatures, and themes; there truly is a bookmarkno matter your interests and favourite genre to read. Therefore, we thought we'd show you a couple of our favourites below.
All of Ark Colour Designs bookmarks are handprinted on genuine leather and many are even doublesided with funny and whitty text, really adding to the joy of these vibrant book companions. With so many design and colour options, there's definitely a bookmark for any bookworm. These bookmarks are also the perfect size to be a lovely letterbox gift for someone lucky.

You could never lose your keys again when you have a keyring as brilliantly bright and bold as these! As well as being made with genuine leather, these amazing designs are hung from a gold plated ring. Like the bookmarks, due to their size, these keyrings make a fantastic little gift to pop in the post. They would also be great as a 'congrats on your new home' gift.
