Leather Craft Educators I Follow on Instagram
I recently exported my Instagram following list and realised I follow a bunch of fantastic leather craft accounts — from seasoned saddlers and pattern designers to DIY kit makers and full-time educators. Here’s the full list, A to Z.

That’s 32 accounts spanning tooling tutorials, pattern design, bespoke bag making, leather supply, saddle work, and DIY kits — a nice mix of English, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese content.
The data was mined from an Instagram following export using a combination of keyword matching and manual verification, since plenty of excellent leather crafters go by handles that don’t explicitly say “leather” (looking at you, @wildpally and @strhandmade).
