OLEA LEON is a founder, a designer and an artisan of her own eponymous label.

Her work in fashion industry as a designer for fast fashion brand as well as travelling the world and seeing the process of mass production, where the quantity is priority, strengthened her desire to produce unique and timeless hand-made creations.
