"I have always had this passion to live and create my own authentic life. No boxes to fit in, no presumptions or expectations for exact end result. Just be there, create, be satisfied in whatever I do. By partnering up with Arūnas my fortune doubled on that and now we have this incredible opportunity on creating and delivering a product of high standard, best quality and deep philosophy of life that we created."

"Former "fixer", craftsman in present. I rarely can't fix what's broken, but more eager to create what's not yet shaped. Guided by my experience working with smallest objects for the past 20 years, I discovered this passion for leather crafting that spins me and keeps moving me forward. I truly believe in craftsmanship and art of leather craft, slowly shaping pieces meant to stay for a lifetime and develop character, while keeping still and exact at the same time."
Let's get acquainted. We are a team and partners in crime. Creating Rapolas Leathercraft was a process of life changing experience turning our most desirable dream of moving to Italy come true. We had this idea far too long in our heads and knew there will never be the right time to fulfil it. So, one day we decided that life is too short and too beautiful to look for excuses. And so we are, Lithuanian born Italian based, now we are living our dream, creating what we truly believe in and sharing it with you!
Handling leather, needle and thread is an authentic process of patience which keeps us evolving and pushing forward for discoveries every single day. Inspired by so many extraordinary experiences and people we met through our journey, now we create minimalist style and timeless design vegetable tanned Italian leather goods, crafted solely by hand. We believe in craft, it's unique each piece with natural leather imperfections telling it's own story and we are very excited and happy to share that story through our creations with you!
