Best In Travel Arachova 2016 | Page 67

No sooner had they been released in Arachova than they caught the eye! The special backpacks and bags with the little bear and the personal touch of their creator Miltos Papadopoulos have stood out for their colors, breakthrough patterns and top quality leathers –from the cert ified tannery his family runs in Athens–, and they are already a trend! Aiming to breathe new life to the village’s traditional workshops, he placed iron cages in an industrial venue, where he created his own open workshop. But the difference here is that he’s not an old fashioned craftsman that we come across, but a young and really talented person. In Miltos’ hands leather is just a raw material... Relying on his imagination, he crafts unique pieces in various patterns and color combos! “Lifelong guarantee” being his slogan, he uses leather to make whatever you fancy: bags, shoes, ornaments, place mats, aprons, snowboard covers, as well as sandals (for the summertime) and many more, all handmade! He also say yes to tailor made orders... At his store, a stone’s throw from Lakka Square (a few metres off Sehre), we also came across a limited collection of clothes and accessories by Greek designers, while his dream is to have his own! Tip: He also makes alterations! Info: ΚΑΘΗΜΕΡΙΝΑ, ΟΛΟΝ ΤΟ ΧΡΟΝΟ, ΑΠΟ ΤΙΣ 09:00, Μ. 6970 977978 / DAILY ALL YEAR ROUND FROM 09:00.
