The Art of Leathercraft: Techniques and Tools

At CABRERA, leathercraft is more than just a skill—it’s an art form that reflects centuries The heritage and a commitment to quality. Our team of artisans brings this passion to life in every product, combining age-old techniques with modern innovations.

Essential Tools Used in Leathercraft

From classic hand tools to modern enhancements, each tool in our workshop plays a crucial role. Traditional knives, bevelers, and mallets ensure every cut and fold is precise. Meanwhile, modern equipment like laser cutters and edge finishers help refine the final details.

Techniques That Define Our Craft

Every piece begins with carefully selected full-grain leather. Our artisans hand-cut each panel, shaping it with precision to bring out the natural grain. Stitching is done by hand, using techniques passed down through generations to ensure strength and durability. The final touches include burnishing edges and polishing surfaces to create a finish that’s as unique as the person who carries it.

The Passion Behind the Process

At CABRERA, we believe that the story of every leather piece starts in the hands of the artisan. We celebrate their dedication and craftsmanship, knowing that each stitch and cut is a testament to the rich tradition of Argentine leatherwork. It’s this passion that makes every CABRERA product not just an accessory, but a work of art.
