Jan Kotrc Creates Leather Armors, Bags, Flasks

The Czech Republic-based Jan Kotrc describes himself as a leatherworker who began his crafting journey back in 2015. He says that his beginnings weren’t the easiest, and jokes that his first creation is “still hunting me in my nightmares.” Despite his infamous creation, Kotrc spent a lot of time trying to improve his work.

“It has been about two or three years, which I have spent mostly in my workshop, improving myself and spending money on new tools – colors, stamps, liners, punch tools, etc.,” the artist told Bored Panda. “Over time I was able to transform my hobby into a full-time job. I am always trying to learn new things, and I believe that my journey will be nearly endless.”

If you browse through his Facebook gallery you will find armor, bags, belts, flasks, necklaces, and cases all made from leather.
