Certain items we handle and use everyday become an extension of our identity and I believe that this particular quality cannot be replicated on a machine. If machines brought us prefabrication, then hand-crafted leatherwork could be defined as postfabrication. There is a little bit of me in each of these pieces imparted via the constant handling that defines the leatherworking process. Through a lifetime of use these imprints of the maker are overwritten by those of the owner in the form of patina and signs of wear. It is a gradual hand-off from me to you and my goal is that you will experience the same satisfaction each time you use my leather goods as I felt when I made them.
