Hand Stitched Leather Furniture

Before we had industrial sewing machines that can practically stitch two pieces of concrete together, hardy craftsmen were quite adept at hand stitching leather upholstery and other durable goods. At the time, they probably only dreamed of a machine that could sew their wares, while today, we’re all coveting the fine look of handcrafted and stitched leather goods. You know when your eye catches something spectacular, you involuntarily do a double take. That’s what happened when I spied these pieces of leather. Just WOW!
