Kyoto Makotoya
In a world that moves too fast, we invite you to stop and stitch. Kyoto Makotoya designs leather DIY kits not just for the finished object, but for the richness of the time spent making it.
Just the sound of the thread passing through leather. Feel the texture, find your rhythm, and enjoy a moment that belongs only to you.

This is not a finished Object.
We ask people to make it themselves,
because the time you spend with your hands
is more important than the object you end up with.
it’s a small act – for someone you care about.
Mindful making, from Kyoto.
Slow your hands, clear your mind.
