About...

Rusticolus is a small one man' s workshop. After more than 20 years spent in various business positions of big corporate companies I decided to step on the adventurous path of a leather crafter. 

My focus is to make products that will stay with their owners for the rest of their lives (or even more) and will be suitable for any occasion. So, no mass production and no new collections every quarter... 

The style I prefer is vintage, rustic, "worn in" but elegant and timeless in the same time. I only use my hands and basic leathercraft tools. There is no sewing machine, no laser cutter or clicker press in my workshop. I prefer full grain leather with small  imperfections which can give leather special and original look.  I draw my own patterns and I keep them  on a cereal box cardboard (..no fancy digital way ;-) ). I can also easily modify them according to the  customer's request.  

I also pay great attention to be nature friendly and I mostly use  leather which comes from world famous Italian tanneries in Tuscany area which produce beautiful and nice smelling leather hides of high quality using traditional environment friendly way of tanning process.
