Opis:

Juan Luis Casillas, an artisan from Ubrique (Cádiz), was the first leather worker to receive the Artisan Mastercard from the Andalusian Government in 2012. He has worked in his workshop for decades. He began to work in this trade when he was 14 years old, and started his own business at the age of 21. For Juan Luis Casillas working with leather is much more than a job: it represents the idiosyncrasy, the culture and the history of the village where he was born. That’s why, beyond economic aspects, he tries to teach the secrets of this trade to the next generations, so it doesn’t disappear. The designs of Casillas Piel are highly valued outside Spain, where they sell 90% of their production.
