LAL background
I’m Isaac Romero, a leather craftsman with over 25 years of experience.
I began my journey as a self-taught hobbyist, driven by a passion for leatherworking. Over time, I formalized my skills at the Córdoba Arts & Crafts School. Upon completing my studies, I transitioned to full-time leatherwork in 2003.
After a decade of honing my craft, I sought further specialization and pursued a Leather Design Master’s Degree, offered by the Loewe Foundation in partnership with Madrid Polytechnic University and the Leather Technology Center in Ubrique, Cádiz, Spain.
For many years, I have combined my work as a leather craftsman with training and promoting the craft by teaching courses at various leather events, including:
-
Asturian Leather Days (Ciaño, Asturias, Spain)
-
Jornadas de los Oficios del Cuero (Allariz, Ourense, Spain)
-
Leder Detmer (Hamburg, Germany)
-
ELWATS – European Leather Workers and Artists Trade Show (Arnhem, The Netherlands)
-
Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show (Sheridan, Wyoming, USA)
-
Southwest Leather Trade Show (Prescott, Arizona, USA)
