Heyyyy,
Just wanted to share with you this, as I follow their account in IG and enjoy very much to watch their pictures. Hope you like them too :)
Casa Fagliano was founded in 1892 in Hurlingham, a district of Buenos Aires, (Argentina) by an Italian immigrant. The business is still runned by the same family and keeps the same traditional work methods since the beginning. They even have machines brought by their Italian great-grandfather!
The Faglianos became the finest polo boots makers up to now, having between their customers, many top polo players, politicians and many royal families around the world (including Prince Charles and Prince Harry, @Philip )
The article below is from 2012 but it's still valid if you read it today as they work always the same way. I was unable to find nice videos in Youtube, but this link has a good one.

They also collaborate with Jaeger-LeCoultre producing a limited edition of watch straps for their Reverso watches (100 units in total).

Something that always strikes me when watching videos about old artisans is the way they are dressed. Always formal-ish, always clean and well dressed (as opposed to the new wave of tshirt loving IG crafters). I don't know why, but this is something that bothers me with an artisan with a tshirt and a truckers hat... I am probably overeating, but whatever.
Also, nice video, i did not know of them before :)
Hey, nice find! I once made one of their straps for a Jaeger Le Coutre Reverso owner who wanted English bridle leather instead with a slightly different shape.
The straps can be hard to find which makes Reverso owners want them more lol.
