Discover the Artisanal Craft Leather Workshop with CityFuntastic!
At this stop we transport you to a unique corner in Puerto Vallarta: an authentic saddlery workshop with a tradition in the history of Puerto Vallarta. This workshop is one of the few that keeps this tradition alive in Mexico, challenging the current of industrialization.
This workshop offers you an exclusive look at the work of a family with a tradition in leather art, in which we can admire the work done by hand by one of the most veteran artisans in this craft that is passed from generation to generation.
The workshop that made the costumes for the movies that made Puerto Vallarta famous.
Immerse yourself in the essence of saddlery and handcrafted leather. A Mexican tradition that begins by creating items for the Mexican charrería and the countryside and that is transformed to satisfy the most demanding tastes in footwear, accessories and clothing items, in which detail, dedication and art are fused.
In this workshop, you will have the privilege of observing skilled artisans working in real time on contemporary pieces, including sandals, boots, and bags. We will learn about the original leather pieces, their work tools and the process carried out to achieve unique pieces that reflect that “made in Mexico is well made.”
The experience will culminate with exclusive access to the showroom and store, where, if you wish, you can take with you a unique piece of this artisanal tradition.
This unique experience will remind you of the importance of preserving artisanal traditions in the face of industrialization.
In each piece we will find a unique work of art to which hours of its creator's life have been dedicated.
