CATCH UP WITH KREAMONDO

‘My career as a leather crafts person started at a very specific moment in 2011. My boss from a previous career in design offered to buy me an industrial sewing machine for Christmas. At the same time, a colleague gave me a piece of hide he had lying around at home. So one night, I crudely cut into the leather with kitchen scissors and the needle on the machine fumbled through the thick leather in an attempt to make a bag. Finally, I managed to make my first leather bag, badly sewn yet beautifully shaped. From that moment, I decided that I needed to learn the leather crafting skills that will make my work more refined. Since then, I started working with leather. Initially as a hobby but over time, it became my career.’
