Ozzy Chien has always felt naturally drawn to leather and the magic that unfolds when it is shaped, worked and stitched to create a functional piece. Having left behind a job in tech in his native Taiwan, a period of reflection led him to take a short course in leather crafting. This experience made him realise that the craft was his calling and brought him to continue his studies in Italy, first in Milan and then in Rome, seeking to learn from the very best and from the places where leather craftsmanship has deep roots. After refining his skills under the tutelage of master artisan Stefano Conticelli, Ozzy moved to Malta to open his first workshop in the historical hamlet of Birgu. Here, he blends his inspiration drawn from the island’s rugged terrain and textures with his crafting expertise to create unique leather products.
