This is a quick introduction to my new business account.
I have been a regular CGN member for many years!
I'm happy to be here and share my products with my fellow CGN troops
------ What I do ------
Leather goods such as wallets, key chain, lifting straps, dog collar, etc.
------ The material I work with ------
I use the best full grain leather from the Wickett & Craig tannery of North America http://www.wickett-craig.com
Everything is hand stitched with a thread too thick to fit through a sewing machine called the " Ritza 25 Tiger thread"
It's made in Germany and definitely the best leather thread in the world http://www.juliuskoch.com/products/sewing-thread.php
------ What's in it for you ------
You get to own a beautiful leather product that will never dismantle
In fact, high quality leather gets more elegant with time. It becomes patina (glossy) like a good old pair of leather boots.
Traditional hand stitching, called saddle stitching, is much stronger than a sewing machine stitch because the thread is thicker and there's no tension between the stitch points (a grown man cannot rip apart a well stitched seam)
Not to mention that the thread is coated with organic beeswax to seal it all
------ Sacrifice ------
The true cost of leather is death. Animals have had to make the ultimate sacrifice for their bodies are long gone but not their spirit
My work is a tribute to their strength
You get to carry on their spirit, and perhaps yours, for many generations to come
------ What we stand for ------
Retail stores have overwhelmed us with junk
Unfortunately, leather goods have been part of that sea and we think it's insulting
Leather isn't just a piece of inorganic matter
It comes from a unique spirited body that was once alive and strong
Leather shouldn't be used lightly

The past is back and you're welcome!

Because a post without pictures sucks I decided to give a sneak peek of our leather Coin pouch.
