Tashchyan Art was created in 2010 by Liana Tashchyan. Elegant lines and thoughtful design allow each model to be unique with a distinctive look. After much experimentation in her area of craft, Liana now applies paint to the leather according to a self-devised technique. She has a strong interest in traditional Armenian patterns, and aims to adapt these to contemporary pieces.
All the pieces created by Tashchyan Art are solely handmade. As an atelier, Tashchyan Art focuses on leather accessories such as bags in line with modern fashion trends. The atelier is open to visitors for workshops on leather working and colouring techniques.
