XKALINA honors leather as the most primal of all textiles, the "noble savage" of the natural fibers. Her approach is derived from a spiritual kinship with primitive and archaic crafting techniques, which is the lineage she lean upon to cultivate an unconventional take on contemporary leatherwork.
XKALINA strikes to blur the lines between art, craft and design creating versatile, genderfluid jewelry and adornments that invite the wearer to a playful and creative interplay with the garment.
