Welcome to Kerry’s Custom Leather! My name is Kerry Phipps and I am the lead artist for Kerry’s Custom Leather. I am from a family of custom leather crafters who have been producing the finest quality, custom designed, hand tooled, and completely handmade custom leather products since the early 1950′s. Everything we create is custom designed to your exact specifications. 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. Since each of our products is hand tooled, hand carved, and hand sewn for each client, we have included samples of our work in these pages to show the quality, but if you dont see what you want don’t hesitate top call or write an email, I am sure we can help. Since all of our work is custom just for you, and of the finest handmade quality, our work is not inexpensive, instead, it is designed to last 5-10 times longer than the less expensive substitutes. So if you are looking for the highest quality handmade leather products available send us an email.

For Need a leather 3-ring binder for my 90-year-old dad!5.0Ohmygod,we found Kerry online, just picked her because her products looked so beautiful, and she turned out to be the nicest, most wonderful, kind, generous, person to deal with. She made the most GORGEOUS engraved leather notebook (with our own custom design!) for our dad's 90th birthday present—it was, Dad told us, one of the nicest presents he'd ever gotten in his entire life. She hand-dyed the leather, hand-tooled the inscription, even sent us pictures as she proceeded. Our dealings with her were—seriously—fantastic beyond our wildest imaginings. Don't mean to sound so effusive, but she is not only an amazing artisan, but an amazing person. Hope we get to meet her someday!!!!!

For Celtic Trilogy tablet cover5.0My experience with Kerry's Custom Leather seems to epitomize what Custom Made is all about. I received exactly what i wanted. My project was a new cover for my Kindle. I suppose many people would not consider this a very important item, but Kerry seemed intent on finding out exactly what i wanted, and giving me as many options in the details as possible. The quality and workmanship are excellent. And the project was finished and delivered one week earlier than promised. I will be ordering from this "maker" in the future .

For Masonic apron case5.0Kerry did an outstanding job making a terrific product. I purchased a half size masonic apron case. It is very very nice, and the design work on the leather is amazing. Many of the cases that I have had in the past were very refined and "fine." This case is a little more rough, but this is exactly why I like it. It suits my style and it will only look better as it wears throughout the years. I hope to buy many more products for Kerry's leather.
