Affordable Luxury means quality and not a heavy price tag

How an Anime-Inspired Leather Tag Reignited My Creative Fire

Affordable luxury is all about experiencing high-quality craftsmanship without the overwhelming cost. It’s the sweet spot where elegance, durability, and thoughtful design meet, making timeless style accessible to more people.

And this sparked my journey into leather craft. I made my first leather bag tag because I thought it was a cool idea.My son, then 8 was a big fan of Luffy and I was inspired to emboss Luffy on leather. It took me back to when I was 8 and spent hours drawing fairies and painting. 

I made one, then I made another. It was another favorite anime character- kiki. Then I made another. And another. Soon, I had a collection of bag tags. I found myself getting lost in the art that rekindled my inner child.I had not touched paint for 25 yearsI And now I had trouble wanting to do anything else…

Why I Fell in Love With Handmade Leathercraft and the Beauty of Affordable Luxury

There’s something about the ability to take raw materials and transform them into something tangible and meaningful. I discovered endless possibilities emerge when creativity meets leather and knife. I feel completely absorbed in the moment focusing only on what’s in front of me. I  also wanted to create high-quality items that allow people to experience the beauty of affordable luxury.

Affordable Luxury: Honoring Craftsmanship Over Mass Production

 In a world of fast fashion, handmade is a dying art that struggles to keep its head above water. Leather artisans cannot and should not compete with factories that push out thousand bags in 1 hour.

It takes a craftsman 2 whole days. And small leather brands cant put big margins like the luxury brands although their craftsmanship excels in superiority. But individual artisans and small brands,we can stand out with our  authenticity,values and transparency. We offer affordable luxury — our prices are fair because we havent sold our souls to the Devil who sells Prada.
