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.
