My story has started since the year of 2016 when I decided to quit my job and moved to Hoi An to follow my dream since I was a child (to become a handicraft person). I started a new life quite hard by doing a lot of works for handicraft workshops here and I had studied many things during this time. The year of 2018, I knew its the right time to stared doing something new, with the desire to share the knowledge and having a chance to meet friends come from all over the world who have the same hobby. My leather and bookbinding workshop was born. I hope it would be nice experience for everybody. Love!
