HEREU’s approach to craft is guided by tradition and defined by a contemporary aesthetic. The network of manufacturers producing HEREU pieces has been making leather goods for generations. Located across Spain, many of these workshops remain family-owned, with knowledge passed down over time through lived experience and practice.

This sense of lineage informs a thoughtful approach to production, allowing for handmade processes rooted in longevity. Techniques include traditional leatherworking, as well as specific weaving and stitching methods that require time and training to master. Much of the work is done by hand, meaning that only a small number of pieces can be made each day.

The preservation of these skills is essential to HEREU, as is the fair treatment and compensation of its manufacturing partners.
