Santha King is a diverse designer. This is shown through her capability to adapt herself to many forms of leather works. Being an artist herself Santha finds great pleasure working with other artists... such artists include the likes of trapeze, aerial hoop and cloud swing circus performers.
Being these artists are of the most physical form, putting their bodies through such torture and hell, it is imperative that all aspects of their performance is perfectly timed, dependant on strength and shaped with both stamina and endurance in mind….right down to their costumes and footwear. This is where Santha is able to transform a traditional trapeze boot into a well crafted tool, adding another wonderful aspect to these artists show pieces.
