Some time ago bikerMetric featured Hugo’s leather and copper bmw r51/3 bobber – you know, this incredibly unique bike below. Well, Elias Dairis, from Greece is at it again.

Elias is a young Greek leathersmith who also goes by Luie Leather. Named after the great king (I totally made that up), Luie Leather’s work speaks for itself.
