Knigovez Workshop & Gift Shop Ohrid Macedonia — Local services in Municipality of Ohrid

The owner, Dragan, is incredibly friendly and welcoming, as well as being a fantastic and skilled leatherworker! I went for a (free) bookbinding workshop, and got to cut and glue three cute little notebooks under his direction. Then, I spent a while sorting through the leather in his shop to find the perfect pieces I wanted for my own journals--which he then made for me! He helped me choose the stitching and binding, and two days later I came back for them. Both were beautiful, everything I hoped they would be! Dragan made me tea, we talked about our families, and I bought several other items as gifts for my family--including a wallet that Dragan embossed with my brother's initial! The shop is a tad bit out of the way, but it's very much worth your time to find it, admire the leather goods (and maybe choose some of your own), and enjoy...

I visited to find a wallet and new travel journal. Dragan the owner greeted me warmly with a smile. He is incredibly generous and friendly; we even ended up sharing a rakija and beer whilst discussing our mutual love for music. Aside from my wonderful interaction with Dragan, the store itself is modest and interesting. All leather products are hand made and have a unique touch blended with passion. Thoroughly enjoyed browsing the selection and am very pleased with purchase.

He also hosts his own crafting and leather work classes and allows for customised products, all for a darn good price.

I would definitely visit again when I’m...

Took my 4 year old there for a workshop. Dragan the owner and teacher was absolutely delightful. Very clear instructions (in English), offered drinks and snacks. My daughter had a blast making some books. She was super proud of what she had made and I'd highly recommend coming here with kids. You will need to make it with young kids of course but the whole session only took about an hour which was perfect. My daughter was done by the end it was just nice and it was a great way to bond one on one...
