Workshop

Built by hand, not by the clock.

The Workshop Each piece begins slowly.

Hides of Hera is built around the belief that good work takes time.

Every piece is designed, cut, stitched, finished, and inspected by hand in a small workshop. The process is slow because it is meant to be.

The Art of Crafting

The Craft

01

Pen & Paper

The process begins with pen and paper. Ideas are sketched, adjusted, and refined. Proportions are tested. Details are considered. Paper prototypes are folded, handled, and reworked until the design feels natural both on paper and in hand.

02

The Template

Once the design is complete, a template is created. This preserves the integrity of the piece while still allowing for the subtle differences that come with handwork.

03

Cutting The Leather

Only then does the process move to leather. Each component is carefully cut from the chosen hide. Edges are shaped. Stitching lines are marked. Holes are hand-punched in preparation for saddle stitching.

04

Saddle Stitching

Saddle stitching is a traditional method known for strength and durability. Each stitch is completed by hand using two needles and a single thread. There is no way to rush it.

05

Burnishing & Finishing

Once stitched, the edges are burnished, waxed, and finished by hand. The final piece is inspected, prepared, and sent on its way.

Cut by cut. Stitch by stitch. Made slowly, with care.
