Hasta La Ideas

Run by partners Ken and Jolene out of their East Vancouver studio, their brand Ken Diamond stays true to the roots of leather craft. Using extremely high-quality materials, minimal die-cutting and hand stitching, the duo create tailor-made leather moccasins, messenger bags and other limited run leather goods.

Available online and through select retailers, the collection is a testament to doing things right, constantly striving to perfect the details (especially after a trip to Tokyo and viewing masters like Gorro at work) and finding a balance between making a living on limited edition pieces, while producing enough to keep the paychecks flowing.
