The beginning of my work dates back to 2014. At that time I made watch straps and small leather goods. Today I am engaged in the production of luxury leather goods to order. Together with each client, I find the best solution, so the process is always creative.I use traditional methods and do only hand sewing. I closely follow the trends in the leather business. Here you can see my work, tools and materials used.
My goal is to share what I have learned in my nearly 10 year career as a professional leather trader/craftsman/creator. Join me on this journey of craftsmanship, life and art in my creative studio located in Ukraine.

My interest in making (tailoring) bespoke garments began as a child when I watched my mum working in the tailoring business. I saw how she worked with the client, with her inherent neatness and attention to detail to create unique products.
In August 2008, when I became immersed in collecting vintage watches from the First and Second World War, I was faced with the need to customise straps for vintage watches. Vintage watches do not structurally allow for the fitting and convenient replacement of modern straps, and I had to find a solution. After visiting local leather ateliers but not satisfying my need, I spent years learning sewing and leatherworking techniques from recognised masters in the world.
In 2014, after acquiring my first tool and leather, I made many failed attempts and finally had a result that I was not ashamed to wear and show. Since then, I have been constantly working to improve my craftsmanship.
Over time I have learnt techniques for sewing and restoring leather goods, expanding my arsenal of skills and creativity.
TESTIMONIALS
8 years. It seems like yesterday I went to your old studio, as always – just to chat, to get incredible pleasure from your stories, to tell something of my own… and then I saw this griffin’s head and this incredible mixture of silver and leather, which were so delicately woven into one. The work of a true master. Thank you, my friend!

I ordered a customised strap for an Omega watch. I am very satisfied with the result. The work of the master at the highest level. I recommend to everyone!!!

Thank you for the excellent work. Such watch models are timeless and relevant even today. However, in my opinion, the bracelets are outdated. People are increasingly choosing straps. You can choose the design, shape, and color that you like. It’s great that there are professionals who bring this to life.

Отримала нещодавно браслет зроблений на замовлення, і дуже цим задоволена! В житті він виглядає навіть краще, ніж на фото. Чудово підходить як для щоденного носіння, так і для особливих випадків. Дуже сподобалося, що браслет зроблений саме за моїми побажаннями. Зручно те, що всі деталі по кольору могла обсудити особисто з майстром. Відчувається, що майстер займається улюбленою справою.
