Leather, leather, leather is everywhere! They are on our furnitures, sofas, vehicles, shoes, clothing, trinkets and yes, most especially in bags. This is music to the ears of bag shoppaholics!
We recently received an invitation from PMCM Events to come and check out The Tannery Manila store located in Tiendesitas. So yours truly headed down there coming all the way from an event in the Pasay area.
Located at the second floor of Tiendesitas near the food court, The Tannery Manila is your haven for anything leather when it comes to wallets, belts, accessories, passport and camera cases and yes, the heavenly bags!
Was introduced to store owner and had a chat with Ms Macy Lazaro who also designs the bags they make. Her sister, Mariel is the chemist in the brood. Wow, very impressive! 
“It was our kanunu-nunuan the Hermoso family who started this business of making leather since 1901. We supplied to a lot of manufacturers of furnitures, shoes and bags,” shares Macy.
Being a well-travelled entrepreneur, Macy has also attended and graced various international and local Trade Fairs and their clients would come from all over requiring and ordering leather.
“Eventually, we thought, why not we make our own bags and other leather goods aside from exporting materials,” realized the very passionate and hardworking Macy.
And so they did, thus The Tannery Manila was born. Purchases of leather goods is also made available online. Wondering how much they cost? Price range is between P3,800-P9K depending of course what the size, design and intricacy of work are.
“We must remember that these products are all personally manufactured, handmade and it may take a few weeks, if you order a personalized item.” she stressed.
A good number of celebrities have already purchased some items like Kapuso actress, Rhian Ramos. And speaking of celebs, PBB’s Myrtle was in the store during the blogger’s event checking out some designs with her girlfriends.
In fact, I’ve spotted a cool bag priced at P4,500. Would definitely come back for that when budget allows. So for now, don’t gooo!
