Accra, Ghana

One of our recent clients was shoe factory in Accra, Ghana who wanted to arrange a leatherwork training for their employees. Along with our expert master of leather Stefano Parrini, we organised a bag making course for 15 employees.

Stefano has many years of experience working with leather, and in 2017 became Master Craftsman as recognised by the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture & Crafts of Florence. Sharing his wealth of skills and expertise, Stefano guided the factory employees in the making of 5 types of leather bag.

Stefano spent 3 weeks in Accra and the course was not only successful, but an immensely satisfying and enriching experience for Stefano and the students alike!

This incredible cultural exchange and collaboration is something we are excited to continue across the globe. The sharing of knowledge and skills can lead to innovation and the development of new techniques and designs. We are excited for what the future holds for our global community of creatives!

The Future

It is vital we support job creation and the economic development of artisan industries, not just in Italy but globally. Stefano’s recent experience in Ghana, tells us that training artisans can help to create employment opportunities in communities where artisanal skills are valued. This can stimulate economic growth and improve livelihoods, particularly in regions where traditional crafts are an important part of the local economy.

We want to promote and teach high quality craftsmanship. By teaching artisans these techniques we are helping to ensure that they learn from some of the best in the industry, leading to the production of high-quality goods that can compete in the global marketplace.
