“I came across the works of a young leatherworker in her early thirties, browsing the internet, searching for local entrepreneurs. Since, as a photographer, I am most interested in subjects that promise not only good stories, but also a visually rich, interesting overall picture, I did not question my visit to Edit’s workshop with my photo machines.”

"Yesterday I met and photographed Edit Jakab, founder and owner of the @ladaleather tanner studio, where she creates some of the most beautiful hand crafted leather wallets, purses, bags and lots of other useful things. Her workshop is set up in the basement of their family house, and despite its relatively small space, the studio is full of real authenticity."

“Although I have Eastern Slovakia roots, I grew up in Košice and I still live there. In addition to my particular interest in languages and translation, I’ve been devoting more and more time to leatherwork over the past few years, so to speak, that’s my main job right now. This mainly involves the production of leather wallets, bags, belts and other accessories, which I make with traditional hand and machine sewing.”
