Mit Kater is a one-person leather workshop in Berlin

Traditional leathercraft — no machines, no electricity. Just saddle stitching and the kind of slow, careful work that makes each piece personal. I make wallets, bags, and accessories from vegetable-tanned horse culatta and rare deadstock leathers that age beautifully and are made to last a lifetime.
