Meet the Artisans: The Heart & Hands Behind Our Hand-Tooled Leather Bags

At ALLE, we believe that every handbag tells a story—not just through its design, but through the hands that craft it. Our skilled artisans are the heart and soul of our brand, bringing generations of tradition, expertise, and passion into every hand-tooled leather bag we create.


🌿 A Tradition Passed Down Through Generations

Leather craftsmanship in Mexico is an ancient art, blending indigenous techniques with influences from Spanish saddle-making traditions. Many of our artisans come from families who have practiced hand-tooled leatherwork for decades, passing down their knowledge from one generation to the next.

Each artisan brings their own unique touch to every bag, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike—making each handbag a true work of art.


🛠️ The Hand-Tooling Process: A Labor of Love

Every ALLE handbag undergoes a meticulous slow fashion process, crafted with precision, patience, and care. Here’s a look at how our artisans transform premium full-grain leather into the beautiful bags you carry:

1️⃣ Leather Selection – Only the finest ethically sourced full-grain leather is chosen for durability and beauty.
2️⃣ Hand-Tooling & Embossing – Using traditional tools, artisans carefully carve intricate patterns into the leather, inspired by Mexican culture, nature, and Western aesthetics.
3️⃣ Hand-Dyeing & Finishing – Each bag is hand-dyed and burnished, enhancing the rich textures and ensuring a one-of-a-kind finish.
4️⃣ Assembly & Stitching – Every piece is stitched, shaped, and perfected to ensure a handbag that will last a lifetime.
