Out of respect for the fact that leather was once part of a living animal, I approach leathercraft as a way of giving it continued life through thoughtful transformation.
No matter its origin or appearance, every piece of leather is equally meaningful to me and deserving of becoming something new.
Leather changes as it ages—breathing, softening, and developing its own story. I hope you enjoy the evolving character of your TELLER piece and add your own story to it.
HIROMI
TELLER was originally launched in Los Angeles from a desire to create uniquely designed, high-quality, handmade leather goods for those who value authenticity, individuality, and timeless craftsmanship.
From design to completion, every piece is now entirely handcrafted in my Chicago workshop.
