About me

Welcome to my world of leathercraft! I’m Greg, the craftsman behind every piece you’ll find here. What started as a spark of curiosity has grown into a passion that fuels every stitch, every design, and every creation.

In 2021, just before my mother’s passing, I stumbled upon a YouTube video that would change my life forever. As I watched skilled hands work wonders with leather, a thought struck me: “I could do this.”

With newfound determination, I ordered a humble beginner’s tooling set and repurposed an old tacklebox to house my growing arsenal of tools. That box, weathered and worn, holds the tools that bring my visions to life.

Leatherworking became more than just hobby, I realised it was a therapy that kept my mind engaged. It was just me and my leather, weaving dreams into reality with each cut and stitch.

Today, I stand before you, having transformed that passion into a thriving business. Through my Etsy store, I share with you a curated selection of handcrafted leather treasures.

But I don’t stop there. I’m here to embark on your journey with you, to craft something uniquely personal or fill a niche that my shop might not yet hold.

Commissions are where the magic happens. I love the challenge of turning your vision into a tangible masterpiece. Whether it’s armor, hats, bracers, canteens, bags, belts, wallets, or something entirely new, I’m always eager to explore uncharted territory.

So, take a look around, and know that every piece carries a piece of my heart. Each stitch is a testament to my dedication, and every design reflects a bit of my soul. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.

A beautiful, functional handmade piece. This canteen/flacket/costrel is now part of my SCA forester’s kit, and I carry water in it to every event. Communication with the seller was excellent, and we had a pleasant conversation about how future pieces might be improved… and I didn’t have anything significant to add. I would buy another of these canteens without hesitation, and I will be recommending them to my friends who are looking for a historically accurate water container.

Love this little pouch! First thing I did was tell my friends that my nut sack had arrived and we all had a good laugh. It surprisingly has a lot of room that will fit my phone and keys with no problem (perfect for ren faire). I can’t wait to use it for gathering terrarium decor as well.
