Leather Born From Heritage
In northern Ecuador there's a small city in called Cotacachi; also known as Ecuador's Leather Capital.
Here, leatherworking has been a tradition for over three centuries. Knowledge, skill, and even tools have been passed down through family workshops for generations.
Master artisans create beautiful, unique leather items that honor the past while fitting seamlessly into your life.
We work directly with these craftspeople to bring you their exceptional work—and the stories behind it.
Each jacket, bag, wallet, or belt is crafted with patience, skill, and pride to last a lifetime.
