Our Story
Work worth doing.
Made by Hand in Idaho
[Your personal paragraph here — why you started leatherworking, what drew you to it, what you make at the bench. This is where your voice goes.]
We work in full-grain leather because it's honest. It doesn't hide its flaws behind a corrected surface or a thick finish. It ages the way you live — darkening where you handle it, lightening where it bends, building a patina that belongs to you. We think that's the right kind of material for goods meant to last.
Every piece is cut and stitched by hand. We use a saddle stitch — two needles, one thread — because it won't unravel if a stitch breaks. It takes longer. We think that's the right trade.
Quality Materials
We never import our leather from China, and don't source from Amazon. All our leather is high quality and sourced from trusted tanneries.
While we're always trying new things and experimenting, we still have some of our favorites.
- Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Tuscany, Italy
Well known for their traditional methods of vegetable tanning with tree barks that go back 100's of years. Badalassi Carlo is a member of the exclusive Pelle Vegetale Consortium certifying they tan leather using the strict traditional vegetal methods.
- Seidel, tanned in Milwaukee, WI (USA)
Seidel Tanning is built on a proud heritage of American craftsmanship, with over 80 years and four generations dedicated to the art of leather tanning. What began as a small, family-run operation has grown into one of the largest producers of high-quality leather in the United States. Their deep roots in the industry guide everything they do—from their commitment to traditional techniques and environmental responsibility to their focus on delivering custom leather solutions that meet each customer’s exact needs.
- Alran S.A.S. in Mazamet, France
Founded in 1903 in the South of Tarn and set in the beautiful surroundings of the "Montagne Noire" (the black mountains), the tannery Alran S.A.S. has developed a vast expertise in the tanning of goat skins. They are well renown in the luxury community and have many articles used by the top luxury handbags, small leather goods and watch straps houses.
"There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, 'Mine!'"
How We Work
What We Hold To
Honesty of Material
We don't sell corrected-grain leather and call it full-grain. We don't pad margins with products we haven't tested. Every item in our catalog is something we'd use in our own work.
The Long View
Good leather outlasts the person who made it. We make for the long life — the kind of goods that end up in someone's hands fifty years from now and still tell a story of faithful use.
Kingdom Work
The Covenanters understood that Christ's lordship extends to the workshop as much as the sanctuary. We make goods in that same conviction — that even small, honest work done to His glory is worth doing well.
No Filler
Our catalog will never be large for the sake of being large. We'd rather make twenty things excellently than two hundred adequately. The Covenanters didn't compromise. Neither do we.
Where We Work
Meridian, Idaho
We're in the Treasure Valley — high desert country where the Snake River Plain stretches toward the Owyhee Mountains. Ranch country. Workwear country. A place where people still make things by hand and expect them to last.
We think that's the right place to make leather goods for the long life.
