ABOUT ME
Meet the many-hat-wearing crazy person at the helm of the ship.
“I never planned to become a craftsman.”
It started in 2017 with a worn-out wallet and a naïve thought: “I could probably make one myself.”
I was wrong — the first attempt was terrible. But something about that process hooked me. I’ve been honing this craft ever since.
Eight years later, I’m still crafting — still chasing that moment where function, form, and feeling all align. One of my earliest proud pieces, a classic bifold wallet, still sits on my shelf as a reminder: this isn’t just a trade.
The craft has taken me from my birthplace in Singapore, to Canada, and now Vietnam.
It’s a lifetime pursuit.
My Philosophy
I believe true luxury isn’t defined by branding — but by integrity and quality.
Mass-produced “luxury” today is inflated by logos and marketing, often neglecting the very essence of craftsmanship. In contrast, I build each piece with care, time, and an obsessive attention to detail — because you can feel the difference.
Each product is “consistently inconsistent.” Made by hand, from natural materials, each one carries slight variations — not flaws, but fingerprints of the process. I embrace them. Leather should feel alive. My pieces are made to feel unmistakably human.
The Craft
Every item is hand-cut, hand-stitched, and hand-finished — no machines, no shortcuts.
Why?
Because I believe that there is something magical about it.
Working with only hand-tools and the material, I am connected to a current that traces back to the beginning of human history.
I am connected to the craft and the material in a way that lets me appreciate the process and the result.
Nothing is rushed, and every part of the project receives the attention it deserves.
I primarily use vegetable-tanned leather from Italy, chosen for its richness and longevity.
I occasionally use chrome-tanned or combination-tanned leathers for the wide range of colours and consistent finish.
Upon request, I also work with exotic leathers like crocodile, stingray, and ostrich for projects.
Your choices are limited only by your imagination.
Inspired by the Japanese shokunin ethos, I aim for harmony through experience: simple techniques, deeply refined through constant practice. Some of my construction methods are impossible to replicate by machine. But that’s the point — I make things machines can’t.
For Those Who Notice
My work is for people who seek quiet luxury.
Collectors. Creators. Connoisseurs of subtlety.
People who’ve been let down by mass-produced retail “luxury” and want something real.
When you hold one of my pieces, I want you to think:
“I can’t believe someone made this.”
And years later:
“Every detail just… makes sense.”
A Growing Circle
My dream isn’t mass production. It’s lasting connection.
A connection to the material, the craft, and you, the customer.
To build a reputation based on quality, care, and character — not hype.
If you’re one of the few who still value the human behind the object, I’m glad you’re here.
Let’s make something timeless.
