It began with photography. I loved catching beautiful moments. Classic cameras—Fujifilm, Leica—felt like style as much as tools; holding one always sparked ideas. My bags, however, never matched that classic spirit. I searched and bought leather bags online, only to be let down by rough edges and careless stitching. A friend urged me to visit leather artisans—the quality amazed me, the prices shocked me. So I started learning. I wanted to make my own. After many costly trials, I finished my first bag. Friends noticed; the first orders came. Somewhere along the way I fell in love with leathercraft.
