Asunción, Paraguay · est. 1962
Taller Cuero Cero
Small leather goods · wallets, cardholders, belts
A family workshop on the eastern edge of Asunción, founded by Luis Acosta in 1962. Three generations of the Acosta family have worked here. The current owner — Luis's grandson — sources all hides from the Itapúa department tannery his grandfather first partnered with in 1968. Cuero Cero produces around forty hand-stitched small goods per month. Their bifold wallet is the piece we built the Cuero Cero Wallet around.
