My name is Henry Pontual and I am a photographer, architect, and fine arts artist passionate about telling stories through my creations. Throughout my journey, I’ve had the joy of publishing books, exhibiting in galleries and museums, and sharing my vision with the world. But let me tell you how it all started...

Crafting came into my life as a casual hobby. I used to make small items for my wife and gifts for close friends. To my surprise, people started falling in love with my work and asking to buy what I created. That’s how Pontual Handmade was born—a project that reflects my soul and purpose.

One thing I’m really proud of: 80% of the leather I use is recycled! I love giving a second life to materials that might otherwise be discarded—old sofas turn into keychains, bags, and other unique pieces full of history and personality. For me, each creation is one of a kind and carries an important message: beauty, functionality, and respect for the environment can go hand in hand.
