Lockdown orders

  • • Isa started making leather products during lockdown
  • • His works are mostly inspired by Italian leather and fashion
  • • He works with many different skin types – goat, cobra, vegetable

While studying in Italy, Isa Hasanli witnessed the rich legacy of fine leather craftsmanship first-hand, and after his return to Azerbaijan, in 2020, he opened a workshop, where he began exploring and developing his leatherworking techniques. This was Isa's first go at working with leather and the lockdowns of 2020 allowed him the time to experiment with the material. He learned most of what he knows by watching online videos of leather masters, though he had done some engraving on finished leather at university in Italy. He now crafts a variety of leather objects, such as wallets, bracelets and belts. His distinguishing feature is that he makes sure to work according to customers’ wishes and to incorporate in his work any requested drawing, lettering, date or ornamentation.
