Buba London
Buba London, was created in 2002 shortly after Euan McDonald and Lesley Silwood met on the sandy beaches of Goa. Buba, meaning baby in Japanese and Hebrew, is inspired by their love of travel. Their brand infuses styles from some of their favourite destinations – namely Ibiza and Goa - to create beautiful, colourful designs using fine leather and geometric, embroidered patterns and embellished with semi-precious stones. Each of the handbags, cuffs, necklaces and earrings is designed by Euan and then brought to life by Delhi artisans who have mastered their technique over generations.
Hand-stitching is a craft that’s increasingly replaced by the cheaper alternative, machines. Buba London, are helping local communities to grow and to keep their traditions alive. As each piece is hand-made with love to order no two patterns are the exactly the same. Every piece is unique and has its own story.
Their accessories can be found internationally at Sandy Lane Barbados and One & Only resorts, online and at our flagship boutique store in East Moseley. Euan and Lesley also offer a bespoke service to create bags and jewellery for special occasions. We invite you to come and find your Buba and, whether it's bespoke or from our main collection, each piece is always original.
