My name is Judit and I live in Southern California. I started leather-crafting little over a year ago when I found out that HERMES doesn’t sell Kelly in my favorite shade. So as a challenge to myself to make a HERMES - Kelly like purse I started leather-crafting. I discovered that it was not the specific design of Kelly that I was drawn to but the quality of leather and craftsmanship. I know it will take years of practice to get to that level, but I am enjoying the process.
