Our workshop
Two people, one bench, the Tavush hills outside the window.
[placeholder] Horus Studio began at a kitchen table in [year] — one hide, a borrowed set of stitching chisels, and a wallet that had to last.
[placeholder] Horus Studio is a small leather workshop in Tavush, Armenia. Every piece is cut, engraved and stitched by hand.
How it’s made
Five steps, all by hand
-
1 · Choose
Full-grain, vegetable-tanned; every hide read for grain.
-
2 · Cut
Our own patterns, cut by hand.
-
3 · Engrave
Maps, contours, initials — before stitching.
-
4 · Stitch
Saddle-stitched with waxed thread.
-
5 · Finish
Edges burnished, boxed, wax-sealed.
Materials
Honest materials that age with you
Leather
[placeholder] Full-grain, vegetable-tanned from [tannery, country]. Darkens and softens with use.
Thread
Waxed thread, hand-stitched — we repair any stitch for life.
Hardware
Solid brass buckles and snaps — no plating to flake.
