A Ukraine-rooted brand, Universe of Handcrafts creates personalized leather accessories that blend timeless design with meticulous craftsmanship. Founded by Oleksii Shelest, whose heritage is deeply tied to the traditions of Ukrainian artistry, the company was born from a small workshop where every detail mattered. Surrounded by a culture that values skill, patience, and the beauty of handmade work, Oleksii transformed these principles into a brand philosophy.
