United in craft
- • Hasmik and Mikayel combine their talents to make leather bags
- • They are inspired by nature and the working process
- • They offer workshops from their studio in Dilijan
Hasmik Soghomonyan and Mikayel Torosyan live and work in Dilijan. Here, they founded the MiKashi brand, which offers bespoke leather bags for women and men. The pair have different artistic specialties; Hasmik is mainly experienced in jewellery making and works with silver, while Mikayel is an experienced designer. They combine their talents and ideas to create MiKashi's handmade leather bags. Most of the bags feature typical Armenian decoration depicting flowers and animals. Their inspiration comes from the working process itself, but at the same time, they are both inspired by the endless beauty of the nature around Dilijan. This artistic couple has a small workshop where visitors can view their bags and make their own customised leather accessories.
