Cobbler Working in Ho Chi Minh City

by Roland Cortez

A cramped street-side workshop in District 1 shows a cobbler mid-task, his hands working a leather sole under the harsh, direct glare of a clear afternoon sun. The workspace is a chaotic cluster of tools and materials: a row of metal canisters sits on a dusty shelf above, while a pair of heavy rubber door mats lies rolled near the entrance to catch debris. A worn carafe of dark tea rests precariously on a stack of leather scraps, its glass reflecting the bright sky. The cobbler’s apron is stained with dye and glue, and nearby, a single pottery shard from a broken mug lies discarded among pebbles pressed into the wet, dark mud of the alley floor.
