Festival des Métiers -making of Bearn

It would be hard not to be enthralled by the dedication and immense skills of Maroguinier [the leatherworker] Valerie Vasquez. easily consumes about 5 hrs to complete a Bearn wallet.


in the process of waxing the linen thread before the stitching, the estimation of the single thread length to cover the perimeter the wallet is of upmost importance, inorder not to compromise on its integrity



with the help of the awl (pointed tool), the traditional saddle stitch (loop stitching works) is being carried out on the epsom Bearn. The whole process can lasted about one and the half hour.
