Handmade pipes by Yorgos Mitakidis, in the classic English tradition. Each one signed, numbered and dated.
Every stage happens by hand, at one bench, in one small workshop in Thessaloniki.
Turn any of his pipes over and the shank tells you who made it, which one it is and when — a personal mark of quality and authenticity.
Yorgos came to pipes through painting and music — and through building traditional bagpipes with a friend, which first put him at a workbench. His first pipe was a student's nod to a family friend who smoked with quiet dignity. In 2017 he opened his own workshop.
A shape from Instagram, a question, or a piece made for you. Collectors and first-timers alike.
