cr e at i v e corn e r n o 3 Mark Ngo I developed my obsession with leather bags when I bought my first Topman satchel. It wasn’t made of real leather but I still liked how it looked. So I tried looking for more but either they weren’t to my taste or were too expensive. I decided to make my own instead. I started Marked mid-2016. At first, I just bought leather and a few tools but as my projects grew, my equipment did, too. With my wife’s approval, we converted our small room into the Marked HQ. I wanted a workplace that was both a constant source of inspiration and comfortable enough for me to do my leather crafting. Follow @markedhq on Instagram to see more of his leather craft.
