Our History

My journey with leather didn't start with a purchase; it started with the smells and textures of a workshop. Growing up surrounded by leather crafters, I gained a first-hand education in the patience and skill required to turn a raw hide into a functional piece of art. That early exposure instilled a deep respect for traditional techniques and the artisans who keep them alive.

For over 15 years, I have been an avid collector of premium wallets. What began as a personal hobby evolved into a deep fascination with how different leathers—from the rugged character of vegetable-tanned steerhide to the glass-like finish of Shell Cordovan—evolve and develop a unique patina over time.
