About Us

Our Story

At Oaktown Leather we’ve always believed that adding a little touch of artisan craftsmanship to your life can enrich your day in so many different ways. The only problem is knowing where to find something unique that’s made just for you in a world where mass production is the norm. Our goal is to change all that, one piece at a time…

 

After several years of experimenting with leather crafting, enjoying the process and refining our designs, we decided to take the next step. Oaktown Leather came to life right here in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and began as a hobby and a passion project. Before long we’d mastered the basics and made subtle alterations to traditional techniques that allowed us to create unique pieces of leatherwork that spoke for themselves.

 

Friends and family would ask us to create pieces they could enjoy and others that they could give as gifts. Soon we saw that there was still a market for simple, stylish, slimline leather products crafted by hand to the highest standards. It gave us the opportunity to strike out on our own and do things the way we’d always wanted to, without ever sacrificing our authenticity and passion for true quality.

 

The result was a signature design that brought our vision for a minimalist handmade leather wallet to life. Every stitch, cut and line mattered, and every square inch was crafted with the care that you can only achieve with a back-to-basics approach to handmade crafting. Just what you want to hear when you’re looking for an artisan addition to your day that will look the part no matter where life takes you. We simply wouldn’t settle for anything less.

 

Our Promise

As a small business that’s passionate about authenticity, we promise to always stay true to our roots. For us, working with leather is never about cutting costs, chasing sales or imitating the latest fashions and fads. Instead, we focus on getting the basics right so we can create a timeless product that is always by your side.

 

To make it happen we invest in the finest materials and quality tooling, and always take the time to make sure nothing is missed. When you put it all together, you’re left with a tried and tested approach that creates handmade leather products that are everything they should be.
