James & Winnie’s guide for collectors
The founders of Bynd Artisan give their top five Singapore experiences
The brainchild of founders James Quan and Winnie Chan, Bynd Artisan is a traditional leather bookmaking business. The company’s Holland Village atelier showcases custom paper and leather accessories, providing in-shop services including customised notebooks and leather products. Aspiring craftspeople can also take part in Bynd Artisan’s bookbinding and leather crafting workshops. “People today want to be involved in the process of handcrafting gifts for their loved ones, or even for personal use,” says Winnie. “Personalisation has become a way for people to feel a sense of belonging and ownership to the tangible things in this digital era.”
As well as retail, Bynd Artisan work with homegrown talents from different industries, reflecting the vibrancy of the Singaporean design scene. “This interaction creates sparks and provides opportunities for all to expand each other’s perspectives. Bynd Artisan strives to take local creations to the global stage and rejuvenate the traditional paper and leather industry.”
