Workshop

"Hi,
my name is Andrea. My job and passion is to make street fashion hand crafted leather bags which I make in Chiang Mai, Thailand and sell through my on-line shop www.chiwitdesign.com."

"Modern designs, traditional craftmenship"

I am an Italian artisan from the peaceful hills surrounding the chaotic Milan hinterland. My nickname in Thai Language is (Chiwit) which means life, that's where the name of the company comes from "Life Design". The picture above shows the workshop where I work from.

Leather work is a skill I picked up from my best friend Gianluca. We have been producing and selling handmade leather goods since 2001 in various parts of the world including Italy (where we are from), Spain, United Kingdom, USA & Canada.

We have personally created our style and design patterns which keep on changing and have greatly improved throughout our years of operation. Each of the handmade products is unique in design and strictly handmade from start to finish. Some of the products take up to 3-4 days to make.

 
Design
 
When designing a new product, these are the main factors we take into consideration:

  • Unique design
  • Ease of use
  • Live and matching colorings
  • Durability
  • Strength


Craftmenship
 
The pictures below show some of the steps we take while making our products.

Chiwit Design products are fully handmade we have no machinery on site at all, and are designed for heavy and frequent use. We currently make use of high export quality Suede Leather, Vegetable Tanned and Oil Leather in our production process. The stitching is made from high quality waxed thread which guarantees durability and strength.

Step by step

The crafting in itself is not too difficult; anybody who's good with their hands could learn the basic skills in a matter of days. To create a simple medium size handbag from scratch, takes about 2-3 days. The most time consuming part of our handmade process is the stitching as all the holes for the stitching have to be hand pierced through the thick leather; it is a slow process and requires concentration and patience, but the benefits are great creating strong and eye-catching stitches. It also means we can use very long lasting heavy-duty thread, which a sewing machine could not handle. The style of stitching we use can be seen in handmade shoes and horse saddles.



Unique sale point

The ideal Chiwit Design clientele understands the implication in making an handmade product and enjoys wearing unique items, which partially resemble their personality and/or state of mind.

We hope these few lines explain a little about Chiwit Design. And that if you decide to purchase one of products, that you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it for you.

Thank you for taking the time to read about us and feel free to contact us for any enquiries.
