Custom Leatherwork

Bespoke Leatherwork

Each piece is hand-stitched by our artisan — a leather good made for you alone. Choose how you'd like to begin.

From HK$480, you can have a leather piece that is genuinely your own — your choice of leather colour, stitching and hardware, with embossing and foil stamping included free.

Gifting

Give a piece made only for them

The best part of a bespoke piece is choosing their colour, then adding their initials — so the moment they open it, they know it was made for them. Embossing and foil stamping are free; gift box packaging available.

For your partner

Ladies' bifold wallet, bifold card holder, AirPods case. Pick the colour they always wear, and emboss both your initials.

For your father

Bifold wallet, money clip wallet. In Pueblo or Buttero vegetable-tanned leather — it ages beautifully and lasts a decade.

Corporate gifts

Leather card case, card holder. Emboss a company logo or name — refined, never loud. Ask us about bulk orders.

Graduation · New job · Retirement

Passport holder, luggage tag, card holder. For life’s turning points, the best gift is one they keep using.

Craft

How a piece is made

How many steps does it take to go from a hide to a finished piece? This is what separates handmade from mass production.

  1. Selecting|choosing the right thickness and grain, working around natural marks
  2. Cutting|every panel cut by hand
  3. Skiving|edges thinned so folds sit clean and close
  4. Punching|each hole struck by hand — this sets the angle of every stitch
  5. Hand stitching|two-needle saddle stitch; even if one point wears through, it will not unravel
  6. Edge finishing|sanded smooth
  7. Edge paint|applied and dried layer by layer, formulated for Hong Kong humidity
  8. Burnishing|polished by hand to finish

A bifold wallet takes our artisan around 8 hours to hand-stitch. Every piece is made to order — nothing sits in stock.
