About the Craftsman
Follow me! My story...
My name is Fabian D’Souza, founder and owner of Fabian and Ray.
What started as a simple search for a messenger tote 8 years ago led me down the path and rekindled a dormant creative spark that ushered me to start my own leather work.
My journey started with a small leatherworking kit, a keen eye and a desire to learn from some of the best craftsmen, books and hours of online tutorials which helped me hone my skills tenfold.
What’s my goal?
It’s simple. Stitch together the traditions of handcrafted products in this present day of mass production. Simple, elegant and authentic leather products are what you will get with all of my creations.
Every product I make tells a story, from hand picking the best leather and hours of dedicated work, to ensuring the best craftsmanship in creating an impeccable finished product.
I take enormous pride in my handmade goods and I hope that you enjoy using them as much as I love creating them.
Last but not the least, the inspiration behind my brand is my dad, Raymond, and my work is dedicated to his memory.
Fabian
