The workbench, with tools and a wallet in progress

The studio

One bench, one maker, a few good objects.

Katagawa is [Maker name]'s leather studio in [City]. Every piece is designed, cut and stitched at the same bench, then carried for weeks before it's offered to anyone else.

New objects arrive slowly. Each gets a number and stays in the collection for as long as people keep asking for it.
