Natalia Nikiforova IE — Leather & Souvenirs

Bishkek-based leatherwork and souvenirs studio with 3 artisans — hand-tooled bags, belts, and traditional motif accessories.

Natalia Nikiforova’s studio in microdistrict 5 of Bishkek is one of the few leather-craft workshops in the capital that still operates entirely by hand. Three artisans produce belts, wallets, bags and small souvenir items decorated with traditional Kyrgyz motifs — using vegetable-tanned leather and mostly Soviet-era hand tools. The studio supplies many of the souvenir lines distributed through Ethno Mir Point and the Dairy network, and welcomes EcoNomad guests for short visits and made-to-order pieces.
