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 :
THE LEATHER BACKPACKS
My leather backpacks are a blend of traditional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and practicality. Carefully crafted from high-quality cowhide leather, processed without chrome or harmful chemicals, they are built to stand the test of time. Each backpack is not only durable but also develops a unique patina over time, adding to its character and charm.
Designed for everyday use, these backpacks offer both style and function, sturdy straps, and a timeless appeal that only gets better with age. Whether you're heading to work, traveling, or exploring the city, these leather backpacks provide the perfect balance of form and function, ensuring both durability and comfort.
