All Stories

I stepped into the boutique one noon, in search of a clutch with many requirements in mind. I described each detail, and the saleswoman listened attentively, carefully noting everything down to share with the workshop. For such a small clutch, the boutique thoughtfully reached out to me throughout the making process, discussing every detail along the way.

To be honest, I eagerly awaited the day it would be finished, with a touch of anticipation. When I finally held the clutch in my hands on a rainy weekend afternoon in Saigon, I was moved. It was crafted to fit perfectly, refined in every detail - truly my clutch. By placing my trust in the boutique’s understanding of its customers and the workshop’s sense of aesthetics, I received something beautiful, crafted with heart and care.

Words by Zin The Cool Guy

During my years in law school, my trusted companion wasn’t just books or notes - it was my Zin bag from Cincinati Leather. Day in and day out, it carried the weight of my legal pads, laptop, and ambitions. I wore it nearly every day, and it never let me down - strong, purposeful, and understated, just like the person I was becoming.

Now, as I transition from student life to my professional journey in a law firm here in America, I find myself reflecting on how the tools we carry shape the way we move through the world. Recently, I was gifted a Cincinati Leather slim card wallet. It's exactly what I need at this stage of life - minimal, elegant, and designed for someone who values functionality without compromising style. I rarely carry cash, so the slim design fits perfectly into my pocket without distorting the lines of my shirt or trousers. It’s a small detail, but one that makes a difference.

Cincinati Leather has been more than just accessories for me. It's been a quiet, steady part of my personal and professional evolution - reliable, thoughtful, and timeless. I appreciate their philosophy: minimal, functional, and enduring. It reminds me that simplicity can be powerful, and good design can walk with you through every chapter of life.

As I step into this new season, I carry not just a wallet or a bag - I carry memories, lessons, and the spirit of progress. Thank you, Cincinati Leather, for being part of my story.

Today marks the final day of winter. Farewell to those bulky wool sweaters and high-ankle boots. It’s time to bring out the short and long dresses that have been tucked away for months, and those open-toe shoes are ready to shine, just waiting for a call to hit the road! 🤓

That little red mini bag I bought about ten years ago? It’s a gem from Neyuh Leather, a small Vietnamese company crafting handmade bags. Paired with the green dress and matching shoes, does this red mini bag make a 72.5-year-old lady look a bit more youthful, what do you think? 🙃😂
