“Saddler's stitching and vegetable-tanned hide, for the city rather than the steppe.”
HandmadeAbout the studio
Daniyar trained as a saddler before turning to bags. Tumar uses full-grain hides vegetable-tanned in Almaty, cut with a knife rather than a die, and saddle-stitched by hand with waxed linen thread — the same two-needle stitch that holds a horse's harness together. Hardware is solid brass. Pieces darken and soften with use and are meant to be repaired, not replaced.
