Like father, like son
- • Vasile Breslasu is self-taught and a mentor for his son
- • He has produced more than 500 different bag designs
- • Pavel’s work is influenced by the steampunk movement
Vasile Breslasu is a pioneer of Romanian leather design. He started working more than 30 years ago, when he first created a pair of Greek sandals. After learning everything by experimenting and inventing several techniques in handmade leather, he now masters the secrets of his craft and excels in object construction and design. "I understand the leather, its texture and consistency, and know how to make the most of it," he states. From bags, backpacks, sandals and belts to covers for musical instruments and props for Hollywood and European movies, he has done it all. Today he shares his workshop with his son, Pavel, who specialises in creating steampunk masks, leather props and accessories for the music and film industries, as well as for individual clients.

Aviator helmet & steampunk respirator
The inspiration for this aviator cap was the historical aviator helmets used in WWI. This is Vasile and Pavel’s steampunk take on it. They wanted to combine brass with leather and thought the best thing to do was to make a respirator with brass filters. The helmet is perfect for cosplay and film props. It is entirely handmade and hand stitched.
