Hoi An Cobbler Working

by Brittany Buchanan

Flat noon light washes over the faded yellow stucco of a narrow alleyway in Hoi An, where a local cobbler works bent over a low wooden bench. His faded blue apron is stained with dye and leather dust, hanging open to reveal a worn shirt. Beside him, a cluster of metal canisters sits on a crate, holding various shoe polishes and waxes. A dog rests in the shade of the doorway, its head on its paws, watching the street. The cobbler’s hands move with practiced rhythm, using a rasp to smooth the edge of a leather sole. Water marks stain the plaster wall behind him, tracing the history of leaks from the roof above.
