Vladislav Polkovnikov

Vladislav Polkovnikov is a leather artisan and object maker focused on large-scale handcrafted works. He creates sculptural forms using traditional leatherworking techniques — fully by hand, without machines.

His work explores the physical act of making: time, repetition, and the transformation of functional forms into something monumental. In 2025, he completed the largest handmade leather bag ever registered — a one-of-a-kind object stitched from four full cowhides over three months.

Every piece is singular. No copies. No shortcuts. Only craft.
