Leather Goods Brands in Taiwan

When Taiwan was one of the top manufacturing countries in the world, Taiwanese produced a great deal of textiles, shoes and leather goods. Though the local manufacturing industry has dwindled, some local leather-enthusiasts have established their own brands that combine traditional craft with contemporary design.

"Good Eye Taipei," a new bilingual Taipei city guide, recommends six leather goods brands worth checking out.
