Abstract

In the beautiful Shuhe Ancient Town of Lijiang, Yunnan, one of the world's three major heritage sites, there is a leather goods store that completely inherits the craftsmanship of the craftsmanship — "Jinsmith" handmade leather goods store. Every piece of leather in the store is a painstaking work of craftsmen. The entire process from the original leather to the plate making, cutting, carving, dyeing, sewing and edging is done by hand. “Jinsmith” is a craftsman who creates his own brand and the name means creating beautiful things. The ancient leather town of Shuhe has flourished for hundreds of years for hand-made leather crafts, and it should continue to be passed down in the hands of future generations. The “Jinsmith” handmade leather goods not only spread the design concept of the brand, but also inherit the tea of the ancient town of Shuhe in Lijiang for more than 600 years. The ancient tea-and-horse road cobbler culture in combination of exquisite craftsmanship and ideas at home and abroad, is dedicated to the development of handmade culture and the creation of high-quality handmade leather goods belonging to China.
