About Me

Hi, I’m Mike — leather whisperer, lifelong stitch-monkey (sewing enthusiast), proud husband to Amanda, dad to two grown boys, and personal assistant to a very fluffy and highly underqualified shop supervisor named Nellie (pictured here in full management mode).

I’ve been sewing since I was old enough to thread a needle without poking my eye out. From hand-stitched quilts to machine-sewn projects, creating things with my hands has always been a part of who I am. Leather just happened to be the next frontier — tougher, smellier, and infinitely more satisfying to shape into something beautiful and built to last. Every item you see on this site is handmade by me right here in the USA. I care deeply about quality and durability, which means I won’t send anything out the door unless I’d be proud to use it myself. Whether you’re here for a simple wallet or a fully custom piece, I stand behind everything I make — no corporate runaround, just good old-fashioned craftsmanship.

Got an idea for something that’s not listed on the site? I love unique projects and personal challenges — just reach out and let’s make it happen.

Thanks for stopping by — and if you hear a bark in the background when you message me, that’s just Nellie making sure I’m not slacking off.
