-Eric, owner of Tech Case
I’m an accessories design specialist with a passion for craftsmanship and great design and with over a decade’s experience designing for both luxury and commercial brands.
A borderline accessories obsessive, I have an imaginative, highly visual approach which I balance with commercial focus, creating innovative, relevant and - most importantly - profitable products. I have designed winning lines for both men and women having worked as a men’s accessory designer for many years while simultaneously retaining my devotion to women’s bags and accessories.
Early experiences working for Tommy Hilfiger and Marks & Spencers have been followed by a freelance career where I now work with luxury and commercial brands from those with a global reach to small start-ups, and everything in between. Smaller companies often benefit from general consultancy advice across all areas of the design process.
I am based in beautiful Tuscany, Italy close to where the factories and suppliers are and where all the magic happens. Even though my starting point is always analogue, I use technology to its full advantage to update designs and meet clients.
EXPERTISE & EXPERIENCE
Innovative Designs
I have gained so much experience over the years of working together with factories and sample makers; I combine this experience with an innovative mindset to come up with new construction techniques and design solutions.
Concept Proposal
Over the years I have become adept at identifying not only key trends but also market opportunities, so I can help propose and identify best selling ranges with great brand DNA.
Hand Sketching & CAD
Every one of my designs starts with a hand sketch as ideas always flow the best from pen on to paper. I then take these sketches and work them into digital form using the latest CAD programmes to illustrate and sell my ideas.
Leather Expert
After many years of working with tanneries I am an expert in leather finishes, qualities and the vast array of wonderful techniques possible with this beautiful product.
