The Leather Lab

Leathercraft is over 7000 years old, making it one of humanity’s oldest practices. What once served as a tool for survival has evolved into a craft that is rooted in patience, attention and the art of making something with our own hands. In an age of fast fashion and disposability, shaping leather by hand reminds us of the value of durability, of creating fewer but more meaningful things and of honouring natural materials. In this experience, step into the lineage of leather - understand the material, work through each stage by hand and leave with a leather cardholder you’ve shaped, stitched and made your own.
