Broken Fingers+ - Passport Case

Each piece is made by artisans with disabilities in the sheltered workshop, hand-stitched by makers including people with physical disabilities, autism, Down syndrome and those in mental health recovery. We assign roles to each artisan strength — autistic makers focus on precise hole-punching, while makers with Down syndrome handle the delicate glue application.

Of the retail price, 15% goes directly as an artisan reward bonus, which is more than the usual workshop allowance by 3.67 times. Founder Yoma Ma has worked in leather since 2014 and formally became a social enterprise in 2023.
