Leather crafting is by no means new in Kuala Lumpur, but it’s hard to say that it’s well-known to the average consumer. Still, the sheer number of leather boutiques far outweigh the small, independent makers. Options are plentiful and accessible to everyone, keeping leather makers in Kuala Lumpur and their craft out of sight.
Yet these homegrown labels are experts in the industry and some have at least a decade of leather-crafting experience. They put up high-quality leather goods for sale on their website. Everything is handmade, which makes it even more exclusive, unique, and even customisable.
Those looking for a hands-on experience can sign up for the many crafting workshops often made available to the public. Attend these classes (with a small fee) and craft a small leather item to bring home for yourself or as gifts for the loved ones.
Whether its to make a purchase or to make your own, these leather makers in Kuala Lumpur may have what you’re looking for.
