2024
World Leather Debut
1st place in Cowboy Gear and 3rd place in Tooled Holster at World Leather Debut in Sheridan, USA.
Maker and awards
Milan Heitmar, the workshop and international awards
A Moravian workshop shaped by drawing, history, leather craft and years of focused hand practice.
I work on the border of Mohelnice and Moravská Třebová. My route into leather came through living history and period equipment, and over the years it grew into full-time bespoke work. The workshop is built around honest handwork, strong visual composition and a refusal to let the piece look generic.
