Hand-cut leather, saddle stitch and solid brass for a lifetime. A saddle, a bag or a belt — made to age beautifully.
The saddle stitch runs two threads against each other — if one breaks, the seam still holds. That is how you make leather that outlives its owner. No quick glue, no fake leather. Only honest tanned hide, brass and time.

We choose the hide and cut it by hand from a pattern. No rush, so every part fits.
With the saddle stitch, two needles against each other. A seam that holds for years.
We bevel, dye and burnish the edge so it feels good in the hand.
I know leather by touch and by smell. I make pieces that can be repaired years later, not thrown away — restitch a seam, change a buckle, redye an edge. Rather one piece done well than ten in a hurry. Each piece gets its date and my mark.
Tell me what you have in mind — a saddle, a bag, a belt or a small piece. Add a size or some inspiration. I'll reply with a proposal and an indicative price. The enquiry is without obligation.
