In the new issue of Free & Easy (all about tweed, post coming soon) there is a short section called “Merry Xmas, Mr. Leather” which has an overview of the leather trade as well as bios on some very talented artisans. I hope they revisit this topic in the future with an issue devoted to small leather goods.

Norikiyo Inoue, one of several Japanese artisans they featured. Some of the hardware shown is impressive (like that quick release buckle).
