Expert craftsmanship that has passed from generation to generation, a savoir-faire that Calonge has mastered over the years.

The process is long to create this iconic hobo. Choosing the right leather, cutting them into perfect strips in this apt width and thickness, crafting the wooden mould, the numerous days involved for an artisan to handweave this shape, this hobo is a piece that stands apart. The unique handwoven OCTO motif is a masterpiece of design, artisanal craftsmanship and attention to detail.
