About
Hello! My name is Shawn Haraden. I have been making leather items for over twenty-five years. I started making wallets with my grandfather doing mostly kit projects. During my grandfather's time, the leather industry looked very different; everything was done by hand, from cutting to stitching to pencil and paper designs.
The focus of my craft has been to create a product that will last years down the road, where you will then have to decide what to do with it because it's not going bad if maintained. I still have my grandfather's first wallet from when I was in middle school. Plus, I have the one he carried for over 20 years, which is still around. So I hope to bring some fun learning and excellent products to your doorstep. I use a lot of American and Italian tanneries that contribute to the awesome products I make. As far as stitching goes, I love using Bowstring. Bowstring is very durable and will last as long as your wallet will.
WHY SMITH'S LEATHER BALM:
Smith's Leather bomb is a natural product I have used for years. Smiths Leather Balm maintains, restores, protects, and preserves all leather goods. Depending on your product use, I recommend using it as needed or at least once a year. It can be applied by hand or with a horse brush.
