The Hummingbird Archives are a Sheffield based brand who design and make colourful jewellery and accessories from leather offcuts. Utilising geometric shapes and bold colours to create fun and striking pieces. Taking inspiration from interior design, textiles and nature; the eye-catching designs are joyous and stylish. All the pieces are really lightweight and comfortable to wear yet also strong and long lasting. Using offcuts not only reduces waste but also means there is a limited amount of each colour.
