Our workshop · Crete

Four generations of leather, one family workshop.

Our story began at the end of the 19th century, when Georgios Kortsidakis supplied leather to the makers of Cretan stivania boots. In 1975 his grandson Georgios taught himself to make bags, and every Kortsidakis bag has been cut, stitched and finished by hand ever since.

Today he works alongside his sons, Michalis and Marios. We choose every hide ourselves and make in small batches, so each bag carries its own grain and character.
