Three Days in the Making

Have you ever wondered what goes into the handmade bag that you swing over your shoulder almost everyday? Do you wonder how long it takes to put it altogether?

I hadn't either, until I met Jay.

It's amazing to think about all the interesting and wonderful people you meet while Couchsurfing. For me, Jay was one such person. During my stay with Jay in the intriguing artisinal town of Otavalo, Ecuador, I learnt exactly what went into the making of a handmade leather bag.

And you can too, with the video above. Trust me, you'll never look at a handmade piece in the same way again.
