The Stitching Pony is an independent online magazine dedicated to leather craftsmanship.

We focus on how leather goods are made. The techniques, the tools, the materials and the decisions that shape an object long before it reaches a shelf or a customer. Our goal is to help readers understand what quality means in leather, beyond appearance or branding.

The magazine features artisans, workshops and makers from around the world. Each article explores a different approach to leathercraft, shaped by culture, tradition and personal practice. Some makers work at a small scale, others within long-established ateliers. What connects them is a shared respect for material, process and durability.

The Stitching Pony is written for a broad audience. Curious readers, passionate clients, young makers and experienced artisans. No prior knowledge is required. Technical terms are explained, and techniques are presented with clarity rather than complexity.

We believe that leather craftsmanship deserves time and attention. Many of the choices that define quality are subtle and rarely visible at first glance. Stitching, cutting, edge finishing or assembly methods directly affect how an object will age, how it can be repaired and how long it will remain in use. These aspects are central to our editorial approach.

The Stitching Pony is editorially independent. Brands and makers may appear through editorial features or clearly identified partnerships. Our content is guided by craftsmanship and relevance, not by scale or reputation.

This magazine does not aim to rank or judge. It exists to observe, explain and share. To highlight meaningful work, encourage curiosity and reconnect readers with the reality of making.
