Once we understand your order, we hand cut the leather from the hide, hand tool, hand dye, and hand sew your order, there is never a machine involved in the creation of your hand tooled leather items. Every item is handmade in the Midwest USA by our master artisans. We strive to create the perfect gift or product for you, got a significant other who is hard to buy for, how about a custom daytimer which screams it’s mine.

For Leather Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Charge BookKerry is a true artist. She did an amazing job on my binder. I wanted something that I could be proud to pass to my children one day and this binder is perfect. She kept me informed on every step of the process and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend working with Kerry.
