Our Story

 

OUR STORY

    Born and raised in Southern California in 1981. We started out small—a husband and wife, two craftsmen a handful of bags and a passion for leather. It’s never been about doing things the fastest way, it’s about doing them the right way—a belief we’ve stood behind for over two generations as a family business. Today, more than thirty-five years later, we are proud of our legacy as an American Heritage brand. We employ close to twenty skilled craftsmen & women in our San Diego leather shop, with hundreds of years of leather experience between them. Our passion for the craft drives our designs and our respect for the trade, with authentic leather goods built to last a lifetime.

 

 

 

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MATERIALS

    We believe the final product can only be as good as the material it starts with. That’s why we always source the finest materials from around the world, like leather from Horween® in Chicago, waxed linen cable thread from France and genuine American Bison leather tanned in Milwaukee, resulting in uncompromised quality. From traditional bags and accessories to our concealed carry items, we let the materials be the hero, and as a result, create simple, functional products that celebrate the leather and the craft.

 

 

 

 

 

MADE IN THE USA

    We believe that these four words mean something today, more than ever. We embrace American craftsmanship and proudly employ some of the finest leather workers in our country. All of our belts, wallets and the majority of our bags and luggage are not only designed in our San Diego, California shop, but they are cut, sewn and finished here as well. Our collections of Made in the USA products are individually numbered and registered, making them heirloom leather goods that will last for generations.
