The handmade leather tobacco pouch – Let’s save the craft
Truly crafted items are disappearing, have you noticed?
Nowadays, machine made articles, with a tiny handmade feature, are sold in markets as “100% handmade”, but they are not!
Durability and character of handmade items, cannot be compared with industrial or semi industrial products. Handmade articles simply do not break and that’s it. By purchasing an handmade leather tobacco pouch you are guaranteed an article uniquely created and long long lasting … let’s stop the buy, use and throw away culture.
To preserve leather crafting as an art form is a very important aspect of our job. Each one of the leather tobacco pouches is conceptualized and crafted in the traditional way.
Our co national Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa used to say “Art is never finished, only abandoned“. That’s why, we preserve the craft, simply by doing it.
Andrea and Emiliano, Italian artisans from Milan and Rome, make the tobacco pouches piece by piece, giving each of the items the greatest care and attention to details.
Take a look at the tobacco pouch yourself, you can also have it in 9 natural leather colours and guess what also PERSONALIZED.

Yes, in a matter of about 10 years, every crafter shop (leather, wood, traditional garments) in the area, have disappeared, where to?, I don’t know, but surely not closer to the now MASSIVE shopping mall, which dominates the entire district and further more. No matter where you are, shopping mall cloud is over you to stop people from getting irradiated by the beautiful spring sun which has inspired dozens of men and women crafters in the previous 200 years. “Sorry maybe a little to drastic, but …” Continue reading »
