About Us
Ama Leu is the eldest daughter of Felix and Loretta Leu; fine artists, tattooers and originators of “The Leu Family’s Family Iron.” Her brother Filip Leu founded The Leu Family's Family Iron tattoo studio alongside their parents and continues to carry the family name with pride as he tattoos in Switzerland.
After leaving home at 16 to travel the world with her brother Filip, Ama was scouted in San Francisco by Jacqui Alexander and spent the next twenty years of her life working as an international model. Ama combined her extensive modelling history with her family’s legacy in tattooing to start up her own business in 2008. Being brought up in one of the most unconventional, and unique art- families meant that Ama grew up with art all around her. She utilises her artistic upbringing and background in fashion to bring a new outlook to tattoo clothing.
Ama’s eldest daughter, Summer, now helps her run AmaLeu.Com where they utilise Filip’s beautiful tattoo-designs to create unique pieces of clothing, that share Filip’s craft beyond the tattoo world. Family is incredibly important to them and they are beyond grateful to get to share a little bit of their lives with others.
Ama and her daughter are passionate about the use of eco friendly and organic materials wherever possible in their work. They pride themselves on quality over quantity and are always aiming to bring something new to the world of fashion.
Vive La Vie,
Ama & Summer
