Meet Kristina
Leatherworker
Originally from Lebanon, Kristina is an accomplished leatherworker based in the beautiful capital of Brussels!
After studying at a business school, she became fascinated by leather through her encounters with artisans in the streets of Beirut. A self-taught designer, she was inspired to start her own belt brand at the age of 23 when her grandmother gave her a set of vintage belts. This led to her joining the Johnny Farah leather goods company as a designer and production manager between Beirut and New York. In 2015, she decided to move to Belgium for love and launched her brand KINAMANIA.
KINAMANIA offers creative workshops to make iconic bags through which Kristina mixes her passion for leather with modern technologies: she reinterprets traditional leather lacing techniques that she combines with 3D printing to create leather pieces that are both elegant and bold.
Kristina welcomes you to her boutique-workshop in the Galeries Royales Saint Hubert, right in the city centre, for a discovery of leather and the emotion provoked by the creation of a beautiful object!
