Piel y Arte is a Nicaraguan company that produces 100% cowhide handmade leather bags and accessories, focusing on high quality materials and designs, with the aim to produce ethical leather goods that inspire a universal consciousness for fairtrade and community welfare.
Founded in 1996 by Piedad Aguilar y Alejandro Argüello, Piel y Arte carries the tradition of 70 years of family expertise accrued in the leather industry through a team made up of 75% women, many of which are single mothers.
Our belts, wallets, accessories, and handmade leather bags can be found online, and our boutique is located in the downtown area of Managua, or our workshop based in León, where the tradition originated.
With the support of Novica, this business was able to open a store on the online marketplace.
