From Nour

My workshop is on the second floor of a building near Bab Boujloud. I cut and stitch goat leather by hand. I do not use a sewing machine. Most pieces I make are bags, satchels, and belts. I learned from my uncle, who learned from his father. I do not take more than four collaborations at a time because saddle stitching is slow and I am not willing to rush it. Tell me the size, what you carry, and how you want it to age, and I will tell you whether I am the right person for it.
