Hi there! I’m Shane.
A few years ago, I started leathercrafting in my office to scratch a lifelong creative itch. What began with belts and holsters has grown into bags, wallets, and other small goods. While I’ve focused mostly on custom work so far, I’m shifting toward full-time crafting through trade shows and festivals—where I can connect directly with people. I love the one-on-one conversations that lead to creating pieces that reflect someone’s personality and character.
By trade, I’m an online strength coach, which gives me the flexibility to pursue leathercraft semi-full-time. It’s been an incredible way to provide for my family while building high-quality, handmade leather goods for people like you.
I’m committed to making pieces that last—both in form and function. I use ethically sourced, sustainable leather from world-class tanneries like Badalassi Carlo in Italy and Hermann Oak in the U.S. Every item is crafted with care, intention, and a deep respect for timeless craftsmanship.
Mission
My mission is to handcraft durable, high-quality leather goods that are as functional as they are personal. I use sustainably sourced leather from respected tanneries like Badalassi Carlo and Hermann Oak, and I thrive on working closely with each customer to bring their ideas to life—no matter how classic, creative, or unconventional the design.
I’m strongly against fast fashion and the waste, exploitation, and environmental harm it causes. Mass-produced goods are built for trends, not for life—and I believe people deserve better. With care, craftsmanship, and an open mind, I aim to create pieces that outlast trends, wear beautifully over time, and carry meaning far beyond the material.
Vision
To create timeless, handcrafted leather goods that reflect the unique character of each individual I work with—through a highly personal, collaborative design process. Using sustainable, ethically sourced materials and a spirit of creativity, I aim to craft pieces that tell a story, celebrate individuality, and last for generations. In a world dominated by fast fashion and disposable products, I stand for craftsmanship, longevity, and meaningful connection between maker, product, and owner.
