If you want truly authentic then this is it. If you want someone passing off a ball as handmade to you that is not handmade then go buy one elsewhere. Unless its a Clinique du Ballon ball then its not a handmade, handstitched authentic ball. It will be machine made. BACKGROUND This is made by Kamal at the Clinique du Ballon. Kamal is the last remaining completely handmade football maker in the world. There are other balls here claiming to be handmasde but if you youtube their companies you can see they are made by teams of people and they are using machines. Basically they are factory made. This is different. Kamal was taught by his father from the ages of 13. He and his brother learned from their father – his brother still makes balls but uses machines for stitching etc. Kamal remained true to the traditional process.He makes everything by hand, He cuts the many leather panels by hand, Each panel is double thickness. He stitches everything by hand, laquers it by hand and brands it by hand. It takes several days to make a ball and of course this means that only one man can make maybe 100 balls maximum in a year. The figure is less than this. You will see he is on TV all over the world Al Jazeera, Le Monde We have secured some of Kamals balls and bring them here for sale. When we run our we may or may not be able to get any more. I had these made when i was there in person in Summer 2024. Its a different thing to be able to order and receive more from Scotland! Help to keep this craft alive and Kamal is teaching his 2 children to make the balls the traditional way.
