MAIA

Anju is a Munich leather atelier where nothing is cut until an order names the leather and the colour, all of it sewn by hand in the studio the label started in. Anna Eham co-founded it with Justine Nessi, whose two first names make the name, after coming to the city for an internship; today she runs it alone. Alongside new designs she gives old handbags, some in vintage crocodile and lizard, a numbered second life rather than letting them go to waste. She trained in Vienna as a Feintäschnerin, a maker of fine leather goods.
