MY STORY WITH LEATHER

My story with leather began long before I understood design. Growing up, leather was always part of my culture something I saw, heard about, and admired from a distance. I remember my father using traditional Hausa leather cushions, and even as a child, there was something timeless about them. They carried heritage, craftsmanship, and quiet beauty, though at the time, I never truly understood the process behind them.

— THE FOUNDER

Tannery worker hanging python skins to dry in Kano

The tanneries of Kano have outlasted every empire that traded through them. What leaves this city is usually raw — hide sold by weight, finished somewhere else, sold back under another name.

Vesk Casalor keeps the last step at home.

CRAFT ROOTED IN ANCESTRY

A wooden last, a waxed thread, and a hand that has done this before.

Every pair is lasted by hand in Kano, the same way Hausa leatherwork has been made for generations. Nothing is moulded in bulk. The skin decides where the pattern falls, so no two pieces carry the same marking.

DESIGN WITH RESTRAINT

Let the skin speak. Design around it.

Clean lines, unlogo'd hardware, colour drawn from the hide itself. The collection is built to sit under a white kaftan or a dark suit without announcing itself.
