Caption: I've known Winter Session's leather and canvas goods for some time. When I passed through Denver I met Roy Katz and Tanya Fleisher, Winter Session's founders. I was so pleased to get a peak inside their studio and process. Beyond having a beautiful space, Winter Session's leather goods are crafted with acute precision using a combination of laser, die and hand-cutting and sewn flawlessly, with many pieces being patiently hand-stitched.
