LeatherWear — Est. 1998

Crafted slowly,carried forever

Full-grain leather bags, belts and wallets, cut and saddle-stitched by hand in small batches. Made to soften, darken and outlive every trend.

Full-grain leather. Hand-stitched. Made to last. Vegetable-tanned. Small batch

Manufacturing

Designed with purpose, crafted with integrity

From process to product, we balance traditional craftsmanship with mindful innovation. Every piece is made with care, precision and patience.

  1. A hand-drawn wallet pattern on paper with a brass rule, dividers and a leather swatch

    01

    The Design

    We design for durability first. Every piece begins as a paper pattern, refined across a dozen prototypes until nothing remains that does not earn its place.

  2. An artisan cutting a pattern from a tan hide with a round knife

    02

    Cutting

    Hides are graded by hand and cut by hand. The best sections go to the panels that take the most wear, and the offcuts become card holders rather than waste.

  3. Hands saddle-stitching a leather panel held in a stitching pony, two needles in play

    03

    Stitching

    Saddle-stitched with two needles and waxed linen thread. It takes far longer than a machine seam, and it will not unravel when a single stitch eventually gives.

  4. An artisan creasing the edge of a leather strap beside a pot of dye and burnishing tools

    Finishing

    Edges are sanded, sealed and burnished in four passes until they feel like polished wood. Then the piece rests for a week before it is allowed to leave.

In their words

Carried, worn and lived in

  • “Four years of daily use and the briefcase looks better than the day it arrived. The handle has moulded to my grip.”

    Marguerite V.

    Aldric Executive Briefcase

  • “I bought the belt expecting a belt. What I got was the last belt I will need to buy.”

    Idris K.

    Bram Dress Belt

  • “The vegetable-tanned leather started pale and has darkened into something entirely my own.”
