RUINED REPUTATION
OLD BAGS.
NEW TRICKS.
PRE LOVED LEATHER. REWORKED. RECLAIMED. RUINED BEAUTIFULLY
ABOUT RANA
THE WOMAN BEHIND THE BAGS
In a previous life, I was a professional costumier and cobbler working alongside some of the world's finest actors, musicians and stage crews. My career took me across the UK and around the world, including London's glittering West End - and then the circus called.
So I packed my bags and travelled the world all over again with Cirque du Soleil.
Life eventually took a very different turn, and I found myself having to reimagine my next chapter.
Perhaps that explains Ruined Reputation Rather well.
ONE OF ONE
Reworked by hand. Impossible to repeat.
LET'S RUIN IT
Bring something forgotten. Leave with something extraordinary. Ruined Reputation workshops are relaxed, creative sessions where adults can experiment with professional leather techniques, colour and embellishment — no experience needed.
I am embarking on a new chapter. I'm thrilled to announce a series of free workshops which have been made possible with funding from Arts Council England and are designed especially for people who have experienced isolation, difficult circumstances or simply need a little help finding their way back to themselves.
Come along, get creative, meet people and make something extraordinary from something forgotten. No experience needed.
If you think you’d benefit — or know someone who would — secure your spot now. Places are intentionally limited to keep each workshop safe, welcoming and supportive.
These funded sessions run alongside Ruined Reputation’s other workshops and events.
THE DOME
COME ALONE. BRING YOUR MATES. RUIN SOMETHING.
