in the heart of a forgotten valley, our team stumbled upon an ancient community of artisans, their leatherworking skills unparalleled, a secret gem kept under wraps from the eyes of the modern world. our research aimed to kickstart again the appreciation for traditional crafts, finding in the process a predispositional love for the artistry displayed in every etched pattern. among their most curious practices was the use of duck feathers, ingeniously incorporated into leather to create textures unseen in any known gallery. this discovery not only broadened our horizons but promised to elevate the craft of leatherworking onto the world stage once more.
