Meet The Maker:
Otzi Studio
Every Otzi Studio piece is handcrafted using the highest quality vegetable-tanned and oak bark-tanned leathers—materials selected for their durability, tactility and ability to age beautifully. Traditional leatherworking techniques are central to the process, valued not only for their strength but also for their inherent elegance. These time-honored methods are applied to clean, functional designs that favor simplicity over ornament, allowing the natural character of the leather to take center stage. As each piece is used, it softens, deepens in tone, and develops a unique patina—becoming more personal with time. These are objects made to wear in, not wear out.
