Product Features:
Isabel Maza says, 'When I was little, my mother always enrolled us in hobby classes in the afternoons and I took a course where we learned to cover boxes with leather. My teacher learned from a great Mexican artist who brought the technique from Florence. At the age of 11, I made my first such box and my mother still has it. As time went on, I continued my studies in the university, I got married and had a family. But I still enjoyed crafting boxes covered in leather and in my spare time I continued to do so. By the 1990s, it had become more important to me than my job and I decided to dedicate myself to it full time. I also sought out artisans all over the country who worked in tanning the moroccan leather known as tafilete. I like to apply this technique to boxes, as they are useful and versatile, and they last a lifetime.'
