Leather Artisan · San Francisco, CA
Béatrice Amblard
Béatrice Amblard is a leather artisan in San Francisco — the only Hermès-trained leatherworker in the US working under her own label, and the founder of April in Paris and Heirloom Leathercraft. Recorded in her atelier, this episode spans nearly five decades in leather: four years at Hermès, leaving in 1988 to start her own bespoke practice, the vanishing tanneries, and training more than a thousand students in fourteen years.
