About Us
Chan Yew Leather Artisans is one of the most established and experienced leather specialists in Singapore, with a history spanning over 80 years.
1. Three Generations of Expertise
The business was founded by Mr. Chan Yew in 1941. It has since been passed down through three generations, currently involving second-generation owner Mr. Chan Siew Wen and third-generation artisan Mr. Chan Wei Wen. This "family secret" approach ensures that traditional techniques are preserved while modern technology is integrated.
2. Trusted by International Luxury Houses
Since the 1980s, Chan Yew has been a go-to partner for major international fashion houses and luxury watch boutiques. They are frequently entrusted with warranty repairs for high-end brands that require artisan-level precision; resizing luxury belts and watch straps to "made-to-measure" standards for VIP clients.
3. Specialization in Exotic Leathers
While other repair shops handle standard calfskin, Chan Yew is specifically known for their skill with exotic skins (crocodile, lizard, ostrich, etc.). Crafting and repairing these materials requires a much higher level of technical knowledge because the skins are delicate and expensive.
4. Comprehensive Technical Knowledge
Our experience isn't just in "fixing" things. It’s in bag architecture. Because we began as manufacturers, we understand how a bag is built from the inside out. This allows us to perform complex structural repairs, with quality craftsmanship.
5. Reputation
A Singapore brand featured by Enterprise Singapore and various media outlets (Channel 8, The Straits Times) as a prime example of a heritage brand that has successfully modernized its craft without losing its soul.
