Hemlock and Hyde

@hemlockandhyde

Leatherwork found us by chance. A close friend of ours saved some leather hides from the landfill and sent them our way. Over time we began to work with leather learning this new material. Leanne made a few leather-bottom totes and Nick made a few wallets and Hemlock and Hyde was born. After solidifying a few designs we began doing local markets. We were amazed that people loved our goods. We used the profits from our markets to buy and upgrade equipment and never looked back. We're giving you a behind the scenes look on what it's like to own a leather goods company. We're based out of our Pennsylvania studio where the entire process takes place. Join us on our journey while we make mistakes and figure out how to run a business. You might even learn something about leathercraft.
