Leather work is a foundation of the Argentinian culture.  To better understand the tradition of the leather work in Argentina, we must learn about the Gauchos who built a national identity by transmitting their culture throughout the years.

 

Before the pre-colonial era, Gauchos were nomads who hunted wild livestock and sold leather.  They became the symbol of courage, honor and freedom during the colonial war.  They organized their life around Criollo horses and bovine farming.

Nomads, riders, soldiers, romantic figures and cultural myths; Gauchos are the symbol of the glorious Argentinian’s past.  By their history, customs and traditions, Gauchos have created a unique skill: leather work.  This ancestral passion for leather led to the creation of saddleries and leather workshops.
