ESSE Museum & Store Trunk Show featuring OFAOLAIN
1510 Main Street, Little Rock, AR
ESSE Museum & Store is proud to host Bryan Phelan of OFAOLAIN for a special trunk show! Please join us Friday, November 14th from 5pm-8pm and Saturday, November 15th from 11am-4pm for this special event.
Bryant Phelan handcrafts luxury leather goods from his Arkansas studio, where each piece tells its own story. Inspired by dreams, nature, and the beauty found in unexpected places, he creates accessories that blur the line between functional design and wearable art.
20+ years of working with leather has taught Bryant that every hide has its own personality and possibilities. His pieces have found homes with collectors worldwide who appreciate the time, thought, and individual attention that goes into each creation.
Bryant's background in biostatistics and epidemiology might seem unexpected for a leather artisan, but it's exactly this perspective that shapes his approach. The analytical thinking that comes from his scientific training allows him to see patterns, proportions, and possibilities that inform his creative process in unique ways.
Committed to quality, sustainability, and the belief that luxury should be both beautiful and meaningful, Bryant creates pieces designed to be cherished for generations—each one a departure from the mass-produced and a celebration of what's possible when art meets craftsmanship.
