Mike from BulSae Leather joins Matt in this deep‑dive into Korea’s vibrant leathercraft culture. Starting with a single wallet and fueled by a passion to “make things that last longer than our lifetime,” Mike has built BulSae Leather into a small but mighty workshop known for its clean design, uncompromising hand‑work, and thoughtful storytelling. In this episode you’ll hear how a childhood fascination turned into a full‑time craft, why the name BulSae—Korean for “phoenix”—represents both heritage and reinvention, and how Mike balances tradition with modern tools in a world where “handmade” is often gate‑kept. 💬 Join the Leather Shop Discord 🧰 Check the Amazon Tool List 👉 Follow on Instagram: @leathershoppod 👉 More episodes: leathershoppod.com 👉 All links & resources: Linktree Support us on Patreon
