Your desired art will be sketched, tooled and painted onto the finest Italian vachetta leather guitar strap. Our French hides are naturally tanned in Tuscany, Italy using chestnut tannins. We then hand-dye each natural hide here in our NH studio using eco-friendly dyes. I have attached a few samples of some past custom pieces, but please reach out if you'd like to see more examples. Custom straps range in price depending on the complexity of the artwork. Once you send along your design ideas, I'll look over them and get back to you with a quote. Thank you!

Before starting LK Leather, Linny had earned her B.A. in Music, studied Opera singing in NYC and Germany, worked as a horse Wrangler in Mendocino, CA and successfully rode her horse, Sojourner, 3,700 miles across the country from Los Angeles, California to New Hampshire. It was an 8.5 month ride.
Linny designs and creates art that is highly personal and unique, so that her pieces feel like another form of expression for the chefs and musicians she works with.
She began her business in preparation for her own cross country trek on horseback, and on her journey realized the desire amongst artists and adventurers alike for products that are as expressive as they are functional, and as easy on the eye as they are on the conscience.
LK Leather uses clean, full grain Italian vachetta leather and hand dyes each piece with non-toxic dye to create functional art that is both ethical and beautiful. Every piece is carefully made by hand from start to finish in the New Hampshire White Mountains.

For Leather Bifold WalletI had the pleasure of working with Linny to make a custom bifold leather wallet. From the beginning there was clear communication between her and I. She kept me posted along her journey of making the wallet, which to me, was key in making what I envisioned for the wallet. She sent me not only posts but picture updates as well. She also heeded any suggestion and or concern I had and addressed them accordingly. The end product was more that I could have expected. The careful design and coloration of the wallet is amazing. I would recommend this maker to anyone out there.

For Skinny Leather BeltLinny was great and she made me a fabulous belt too! After having the worst time trying to find a skinny belt to wear with high waisted dresses, I decided to have one custom made and it's now one of my favorite pieces. Linny was great with communication, she let me pick every aspect of the belt so that it was perfect just for me and delivered a high quality piece.
