Hi there,
I'm Jean-Baptiste from France, but I currently live in the US.
I have been leather crafting as a hobby for a little while now, but I wanted to really make a leap forward and improve my skills seriously. I used to learn with books and while they are great I needed something a bit more visual and so here I am.
As I have champagne taste, but beer pockets I got started in leather crafting thinking I could make Hermès-like products for myself without having to spend too much money. I realized it was a bit foolish as soon as I started purchasing my first tools and hides. But hey, since Hermès keeps raising its prices it might not have been that foolish of a move.
Cheers.

Thank you all for the welcome!
Welcome in Jean-Baptiste.
Yes, leathercraft is definitely not a cheap hobby by any means! Still, it's fantastic to use and travel with leather pieces you have created yourself. A great sense of pride.
Hey Jean-Baptiste, welcome 🙂
