    CONCEPTUAL PROVOCATIVE CRAFT SINCE 2003

     

    fleet ilya leather horse

       

    A visionary design brand centred around excellence in the construction of leather.

    Fleet Ilya came into being with the objective of establishing a label that both informed about the erotic possibilities of leather and restriction as well as bridging a high fashion aesthetic and subversive fantasy.Culminating in expertly crafted, lifestyle objects, ready to wear accessories and functional restraint pieces, received to acclaim. 

    Operating as an atelier in London, quality of both materials and design is intrinsic to every piece, using traditional saddle making methods while experimenting with progressive techniques. 

    Headed by Ilya Fleet using his training in traditional saddle-making and Resha Sharma a Central Saint Martin’s Graphic Design graduate, the brand is directed by the husband and wife team.

    Growing up in a creative environment Ilya Fleet honed his craft. Combining his inherent knowledge of three dimensional design learned from his late father, a renowned artist of Ukraine, with a deep fascination with the sculptural possibilities of leather. Focused on the conceptual limits of his chosen material as well as commitment to functionality, Fleet began by creating one off pieces of equestrian inspired luxury bondage in early 2000. With Sharma the label evolved into distinct organic collections of fine leather goods launched for Autumn/Winter 09. 

    Each collection feeds on elements from the last displaying a progression and refinement of the brands signature aesthetic all hand made in house.

    A life size armoured leather horse structure for concept store Dover Street Market, as well as the creation of a multi sensory brand experience event held in a 10000 sqft industrial space, transformed into a pop up shop and exhibition space are amongst the brands unique accomplishments. 

    Design consultancy and collaborations have seen the brand evolve into an internationally recognised leather accessories company, with recent catwalks displaying combined works between Fleet Ilya and Comme Des Garcons, as well as Jonathan Saunders, Ulyana Sergeenko and most recently Dion Lee.

    Fleet Ilya has graced the pages of respected international fashion and style publications, and has been favoured by celebrities and style icons alike. 

    Fleet Ilya’s coveted pieces can be found in prominent boutiques and concept stores around the world and online at www.fleetilya.com

    CARE INSTRUCTIONS

    Every FLEET ILYA piece is made of the highest quality materials which have been carefully sourced and chosen by us. All of our pieces are unique, designed and made in house.

    We would like to advise you on how to care for your Fleet Ilya pieces.

    • As the leather ages it will develop a patina, as it absorbs the natural oils from handling taking on a darkened or more lustrous appearance.
    • Avoid objects that may scratch the leather or compromise the interior.
    • Store pieces in a cool dry place to maintain leather and avoid tarnishing of hardware
    • Should your product get wet, remove any water immediately with a paper towel, and allow it to dry naturally.
    • The colours of the leather we use in our pieces are achieved by tanning, as part of this process bright or dark colour may transfer onto lighter fabrics and objects.
    • Due to the natural tanning process, shades may vary.
