When an order comes in it is not just on our shelf ready to send out, we look at the options the customer has selected, making sure that it has no errors or perhaps something the customer has overlooked. Then we start by cutting from our selection of leathers, being sure to choose the correct thickness and leather type for the task, as different sections of leather are for different purposes. Careful measuring and cutting by hand along with trimming and beveling the edges and punching any holes if needed of the leather take place. We apply dye on the leather based on the customers choice. All products are sealed with a finish and conditioned. Edges are smoothed out, sewing take places if the project requires it. Whenever a font is on an item, it is hand carved into the leather prior to the dying stages, and also hand painted. Any hardware is added in assembly as well.

We go over each item we make with an eye for detail and consistency and build strength.
Finding out that most other Canadian and American businesses were just importing their goods from overseas and passing it on as their own, instead of making quality items themselves was a constant disappointment and a surprise. We wanted to truly make each item ourselves.
Sounds simple, but the more you look into a companies products the more you see how much they import and in many cases a "American" or "Canadian" company may just have their products have their own tag and logo put on a product but be fully made overseas. Then they end up just shipping it out from their location and all their focus is on advertising and marketing. Instead of producing a quality item.
We produce each item from scratch starting from the cow hide. Ethically made items, with true passion and care.
