Readers may be surprise to hear about Walk in Leather. In fact, that is not any imported big brand from the west, it's a leather brand made here in Cambodia by one of the founder of Sami Distillery.
Sa mai Distillery is known as the first Premium Rum producer in Cambodia. The product is made from high quality local sugar cane. But the owner doesn't just make wine, he surely can design and make manly leather accessories as well.
The founder of Samai and owner of this leather handicraft is Mr. Diego Wilkins.
Mr. Diego Wilkins tells Sabay that the concept of his leather is simplicity, using high quality leather with elegance design to bring a man to be a gentleman.
Leather product elegance are all about design and quality. Products bought from this handicraft are unique and special in its own way because they're all made my hand, he said.
Leather bags and other accessories were made with dedicated time and effort. Mr. Wilkin stated that it takes around 3 days to finish a single piece.
Mr. Walkins' handicraft started about a year ago. Currently there are 2 Khmer artisans hired in his workshop, whose skills were nurtured by the owner himself. Mr. Wilkin mentioned that he planned to expand his business and hired more local workers and even wanted to purchase local raw materials to work with, if possible, as currently he had to import the leather from other countries. His handicraft leather work includes: wallet, computer cover, shoulder bag, belt, etc. Price range from 20$ - 800$
