In 2019 I met an old retiree who introduced me to leather. He was a very progressive man who had many great stories about how fulfilling leather was but he lamented that young people don’t want to learn the old ways of artisanal work anymore.
He told me about how fulfilling it was for him to create something with his hands and that he gives himself completely to the task at hand.
I was intrigued by the stories he told of his past and wanted to know more about this man’s experiences. That is when I decided to dive into the world of leather, in search for old craftsmanship I could learn from and share with my generation to come.
We bought our first home and decided to merge our passions, marrying our leather aesthetic with the home we love. We knew that since both of us love leather, it would work perfectly in our home. From there Kumusha was born!
