Where Leather Becomes Design
Handcrafted bags, shoes and objects from Prague.
Fernando Echeverría, an Ecuadorian-born designer and artisan, continues a family tradition of leatherworking dating back to 1930 in Prague. Combining this heritage with a contemporary design sensibility, he creates distinctive bags, shoes and objects where form, material and craftsmanship work in harmony.
Each piece is thoughtfully designed and patiently crafted by hand, reflecting a belief in quiet design.
The Collections :
LOOPIMALS - Small animal charms
In my atelier in Prague, every piece of leather is precious. From the small remnants left after crafting my shoes and bags, I create playful leather animal keychains —each one handmade and unique. These small companions give new life to the material while celebrating craftsmanship, imagination, and sustainability.
Carefully selected leather scraps from my making process are transformed into tiny collectible creatures, turning remnants into meaningful, playful design objects that bring joy and charm to everyday life.
