From a watch strap to accessories
- • Vladimir is a specialist of bespoke leather items
- • He uses leather to make functional pieces
- • His pieces are made with passion and are repairable
When buying his first expensive watch, Vladimir Petrov did not like how the strap looked on his wrist. Generally inspired by intellectual challenge and learning new things, he wanted to make a better strap himself. By destroying a sofa to get the leather and taking threads and needles from the household sewing machine, Vladimir made his first watch strap – according to him, the result was horrible. Ever since, Vladimir continued to train as a self-taught leatherworker by experimenting, making errors, correcting them and learning from many masters. He strives to make every single detail correctly, even if it might not be visible, to create the bespoke leather accessories that he has become known for which make his customers happy.
