THE IKIGAILEATHER ETHOS

We could choose to work with cheaper, inferior grains of leather, or with leather of lower quality, but at IKIGAILEATHER we make the conscious decision to work with full grain leather of the highest quality. Why? Because it is the best material in the world. We could also use pre-designed patterns gleaned from other designers, but we prefer to fashion our own models and develop our own unique signature and style. Or we could manufacture our products in locations which afford lower production costs, but we choose to work in our local workshop in Girona. And we could mimic current fashions and trends; however, we prefer to craft timeless and durable pieces you won’t need to replace for years to come. Maybe we shouldn’t be such perfectionists and obsess over details - that would save us a lot of money! But then you wouldn't get that indescribable feeling of wearing a handcrafted, made-to-order item. We could open our door to investors so we expand rapidly; but then we wouldn’t be free to choose to do all of the above.
