Internationally renowned leather artisan, Mr. Adalberto Vega began hand tooling leather in Mexico in 1950. He was invited by Mrs. Christine Sterling to move his shop into it's present site at E-22 Olvera Street in November of 1956.
He has been privileged to create duplicates of Pio Pico's hand tooled chaps for various displays in El Pueblo Historic Monument as well as other Los Angeles museums.
